Nov 3, 2009 Brownish amber body with no head. Aroma of sour cherry, sour patch kids, sugar and cherry. Flavor is sweet and sour with some cherry candy. Almost artificial. Sweet finish, no tartness.

Oct 17, 2009 Bottle, thanks to TampaBrew for sharing. Poured a darkish red color with thin pink head. Big cherry nose. Medium body with decent carbonation. Flavor is cherry candy, lots of ripe cherry notes and quite a bit of residual sweetness balanced slightly by a gentle tartness. Definitely tastes like a New Glarus clone. Finishes sweet.

Oct 8, 2009 Pours a dark red. Nose is HUGE fresh cherries, mild tartness, sweet malt. Flavor is all cherry with mild acidity. Full body with active fizzy carbonation. Perfeect balance of sweet and tart makes this unbelievably drinkable. This really reminds me of New Glarus Belgian Red. An absolutely excellent fruit beer. I need to stock up on this one. Vastly under-rated too.

Sep 10, 2009 This poured a dark mahogany color with an off white pinkish head. Aroma was tart moldy cherries and some funk. Flavor was like straight vinegar with small hints of cherries, not good, maybe infected.

Aug 21, 2009 Had this at a friend’s house last night. It was a bottle he had cellared for a few years. Colour... light amber and slightly cloudy with no head at all. Nose... kirschwasser, cherry skins, yeast and sugar. Palate... very little carbonation but fabulously fresh cherry for a beer of its age, redolent of maraschino and sweet, yet tart, pie cherries which lingered nicely on the finish. This has held up remarkably well! Reminiscent of a New Glarus Belgian Red but not as fresh or complex.
