Poured ruby red with pink head. Aroma of fruit. Flavor was of cherries and some strawberries. Not as tart as other fruit beers I’ve had. Nice and refreshing.

Sample from a keg at a Pisgah tasting at Bruisin’ Ales, Asheville. This is a Belgian-style blonde ale mixed with cherries and raspberries added to the secondary fermentation. I am not often a fan of fruit beer; I’m fond of Atlantic’s Blueberry Ale, and the occasional old-school sour cherry lambic if the mood strikes me. But this was absolutely stupendous. Very well-balanced, and silky smooth. Oh, I could have gone home right then and there a happy man. My note was, "best fruit beer I’ve ever had, basically," which is probably a stretch, but not *too* big of a stretch.

Had this at the 2009 Brewgrass in NC. It was really good. I love sour beers. Just a right balance, very refreshing. Will have to have this one again!

poured into pint, tap. pours a cloudy cherry color, faint fruity aroma, taste is fruity on back and finish, light and refreshing, I really liked this beer, though they say they now changed the name to Red Devil????, and I was waiting to rate to see how it was out of the bottle, but now it looks like they are not going to bottle, so here it is.

Sampled during BA monthly gathering at Stub & Herb’s in Minneapolis, MN. From a growler, pours a hazy reddish caramel brew with a thin off-white head that quickly dissipates to a fine film and thin ring. Aroma of wheat malt, some bing cherries, flowery hops, a hint of red berries, and some vanilla. Taste is medium bodied, with flavors of cherries, caramel malt, some light earthy spices, and a hint of raspberries. Finish is semi-tart with a nice balance of cherry and caramel malt with plenty of alcohol warmth.

Sampled on draft at the brewery. Pours a clear light red color with a medium head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma is tart cherry and raspberry. Taste is sweet cherry, pineapple and bitter hops. No alcohol noticeable. Medium-full bodied.

Pinkish orange, with a pinkish white head. Aroma of cherry, of course, and also a touch of toast and citrusy hops. Flavor is cherry and, uh, Sprite? Maybe? Just a touch o’ bitterness at the end. Tasty, but could possibly get a bit fatiguing if you try to drink more than one. On tap at Barley’s, Asheville.
