Pretty, ruby-red body, very filtered and clear. Big bubbled, soapy head. There is not much going on the aroma - it is slightly sour and dry, ashy. The flavor is incredibly sour - I expected this to be closer to a lambic than a fruit beer. It is not well-balanced at all. There is no sweetness at all to balance the tartness. I don’t really detect the specific fruits at all. I don’t think I’ll drink the rest of the bottle, but it is not awful, just not quite enjoyable for me tonight.

Draft from Max’s Baltimore. Clear and ruby hued. Spotty white head. Full bodied and sweet. Super fruity. Total cherry bomb. Nice malt oily slickness. Meh?

Cherry juice colored, thin off white creamy head. Nose held soft notes of buttered cherry toast and caramel. Hints of a vanilla base are present. Straight forward flavors of dried tart cherries that ends in a slight herbal bitterness, Light to medium bodied, medium carbonation, dry finish. Interesting experiment that started to grow on me by the end...

Cherry soda masquerading around as a beer. I like this brewer, but this beer is little more than a run of the mill alcopop.

12 ozbottle, reddish orange a bit hazy, small tight foamy head with a bit a an orange tint thick lacing. Nose is cherry and slightly hoppy, and and a bit sour. Wow, fruity, tart cherry and dry like a wine.

Pours a five finger cream head that fades to a thin layer leaving some lace. Clear amber color. Light carbonation and medium bodied. Slight hoppy nose. Flavor is tart maybe cherry, dry tart finish. Not like any Belgian Ale I have tasted. $1.50 for a 12oz bottle from Capitol Convenience Concord, NH.
