does not count  May 14, 2008 What a great beer to drink as my first official RB beer. It pours a cloudy ruby red with a small off white head. The heavenly aroma of sweet-tart cherries and a touch of vanilla draw me into the glass. The flavor is very well balanced. Mildly sweet with just the right amount of tartness and a smooth finish. No artificial cherry taste here. Overall a fantastic beer.

May 13, 2008 Wow...how do you describe perfection? This pours a cloudy red-brown. Maybe a 1 finger head. Aroma is all cherries. Take a taste and you are attacked by pure cherry bliss.

May 10, 2008 The beer pours a ruby red, almost maroon, with a small white head. The aroma is almost all tart cherries, with a bit of malt. The taste is so perfectly balanced: tart and sweet. Smooth, delicious, dry, easy drinking. I don’t normally like fruit beers, but this is excellent.

May 10, 2008 Updated: May 12, 2008Bottle shared generously by footbalm at the great Utah tasting. Three RB guys from Utah, what will happen next? The beer pours a dark red body with a small white head. The aroma was amazing; I am surrounded by ripe and tart cherries, wow. The taste was also dominated by the cherries, but done in such a great way. just the perfect balance between sour and sweet. There is also some vanilla and wood aspects. Just amazing; it’s smooth and so tasty, but not artificial at all, and very well balanced out, without being over the top at all. Amazing.

May 7, 2008 Pours a rich, hazy raspberry red with a small off-white head. Aroma of cherries and strawberries. Tons of fresh fruit in the flavor; no artificial sweetness or cloyingness despite the massive cherry character. Very sweet and tarty, like an organic fruit rollup. It’s like drinking homemade cherry pie. I could drink this by the gallon. Absolutely amazing!
