Very sweet. Flavor is much the same. This is very fizzy with a soda pop feel. Nice, though. This is one I had heard so much about that the hype was bigger than the beer.

Thanks man, been lookin forward to this one for quite awhile. Pretty red pour that turns orange towards the edges. Smells of cherry cough syrup. Large fruit and cherry smell. Very potent. Taste has a big cherry taste with a slight tartness towards the front. Has a jolly rancher flavor also. Very fruity and intense. tomthompson89 (1489), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Pours cloudy copper red with a small off white head. Nose is cherry muffins, cherry pie, very doughy and a great tartness in teh end. Has a cidery feel with lots of movement in the mouth. Fizzy and thick, cherrys and apples permeate my entire mouth. TheEpeeist (1484), Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Sep 6, 2006 25.4 oz bottle. Cloudy caramel cider with a thin tan head. Buttery cherry nose; not quite sweet. Little subdued. Damn! Real cherries but better. Slightly sour makes the mouth water. Body like a cider with just a smidge of carb giving a back tongue bite. Really balances out the sweet nicely. There’s an earthiness thats irresistible. Yum. joeycapps (1466), Waterdown, Ontario, Canada

Robust aroma of black cherries & cinnamon rolls. Thick, syrupy feel. Complex black cherry flavour w/ undertones of iron, wood, &, yes, cinnamon rolls. Lightly sour w/ a semi-dry finish.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 25, 2009 75cl bottle, thanks to photomike for bringing both this and the raspberry tart to the August SC tasting! This is another great fruit beer by NG, but I’m afraid it suffered a little bit being tasted along side raspberry tart, which is hands down the most amazing fruit beer that I have ever had. Maybe it’s just my preference for raspberries though, because the beers were almost the same except for the fruit flavor. Red color with a small head. The aroma is just a surge of cherry pie, almost leaning toward maraschino cherries in a fake way, but managing to tip-toe the line and come across a little more like pie-filling. The flavor is pure cherry pie with a light tartness and surprising and welcomed lack of sweetness in the finish. The aroma doesn’t burst with quite the amazingness of raspberry tart, but this was quite good in its own right.
