Jun 22, 2008 Updated: Jun 24, 2008Bottle shared by Taverner, pours ruddy brown with no head. Nose and flavor are sour cherries and not a lot more. I was looking for a bit more complexity, but only found a hint of oak. Not at all that this was a mediocre beer. The cherries and nutty oak flavors blended beautifully and tasted fantastic. Very smooth on the palate.

Jun 22, 2008 Updated: Mar 1, 2009Pours a reddish coppery brown. Nose is all cherries. Taste is sour and sweet cherries, with almost a pulpy meaty flavor under the taste of the cherries. Cherries make this one.

Jun 22, 2008 Updated: Jul 6, 2008In the bottle. Very nice color, just screams cherry. Sweet and smooth, very drinkable. Could have finished the bottle by myself, but had to share it with four others, maybe the next bottle. Lives up to the hype.

Jun 21, 2008 [Bottle] shared by EddyB23. Pours a caramel/red with a fine whitish head. Aroma is huge cherries, ludens, and a little bit of tartness. Flavor is extremely rich. lots of cherries, a nice acidity, and perfect carbonation.

Jun 15, 2008 Deep yet bright ruby in color with thin lacing when swirled. The nose shows off an abundance of rotting cherries. This continued into a medium-bodied palate with lots of carbonation and crispness. While simple this is very well-balanced, refreshing and enjoyable.

Jun 9, 2008 Finally, I have tried this beer. It’s one of those that I run across all the time, it was worth every penny. Pours a brandy-reddish colour with a wonderful fruity nose. Packed with lots of carbonation and a pound of cherries, it has a super wicked fruity tart cherry taste in each sip. A highly carbonated mouthfeel that feels a little chewy at times. And the head is like one of a Lambrusco, with a soft foamy top that slowly dissapears. Mighty fine brew.

Jun 8, 2008 750 ml bottle shared with The Beer Cellar. Pours a murky reddish brown with a small to average size head. Aroma of tart sour cherries that is rather subdued and hides the great cherry flavor to come. Flavor on this one is just fantastic, sweet and tart that is not overpowering but super refreshing and makes you want another sip as soon as you put your glass down. This is something I will continue to seek out.
