Bottle. Pours crimson-purple with a very small off white head. Sweet cherry aroma with hints of vanilla and soft oak. Very fruity flavor, a pleasant sweet cherry that finishes with a subtle bitterness. Dry texture with soft carbonation. The phrase ’too much of a good thing’ comes to mind as I found this a little too sweet for my palate. Still very good though.

Dec 27, 2009 Good fruit ale but no way a 5 pointer. It’s too sweet. too cherry and too weak. I paid an arm and a leg for this and I was sorely disappointed. My wife tried it and said I should add Coke to it and make a Cherry Coke.

Dec 21, 2009 Updated: Dec 22, 2009Bottle from Cavie. Pours a pretty Kool-Aid red with a slightly pink head. Smells like a Hall’s sore throat candy with a Fruit Roll-up. Oh, shit. It’s way too tart. The cherry is extremely strong. It’s great, but holy hell, it’s making my stomach rumble.

Dec 21, 2009 Bottle with big thanks to bonk0076. 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.

Dec 21, 2009 Bottle from Cavie. Immediately I am hit with an aroma of cherry cough syrup. The color is a nice dark red with a light pink head. The taste is not so heavy on the cough syrup, but still a bit bitter.

Dec 19, 2009 Strong aroma of sour cherries and apples. Murky ochre, thin pink head, some lacing. Fabulously sweet and tart flavor of cherries, no hops or malt detected. Medium body, a bit fuzzy in the back of the throat. Absolutely delicious, but not very complex or beery.

Dec 11, 2009 Hazy off-red color with frothy head. Nice.
Nose is over the top. Dessert-like in sweetness. You can enjoy the aroma from 4 feet away.
On the palate it is very similar to the usual Kriek counterpart but this one is more cherry-fresh tasting. The cherry component is just more ripe. Very good.

Dec 11, 2009 Poured murky brown and red with a fizzy, short white head. The aroma was a rush of cherries and lots of sugar. The flavor was straight cherry with sugar with a touch of spice revealing itself as it warmed. Nice, medium bodied mouthfeel. Too one-dimensional. Well made, just not something I would care to drink again.

Dec 9, 2009 Bottle shared by JoeTheYounger. Pours a cloudy dark red with a pinkish white head. Aroma is like dessert with a load of black cherries and a touch of cinnamon. Something almost between cherry pie and a cherry sucker. Flavor is again dominated by cherries, slightly tart, with a bit of spice. Medium to full bodied with very creamy carbonation and a surprisingly dry finish. Awesome stuff.
