Deep red with barely no head. Strong cherry aroma, wood and a bit vinous. Light bodied, little sweet with a dry end.

Bottle: Poured a deep red color ale with a rather large pink color foamy head with average retention and no lacing. Aroma consists of a load of cherries with some notes of oak. Taste is also a mix between loads of cherries that are sour but also lightly sweet but some light sour and tart notes with some oak presence also noticeable. Full body with some great carbonation and no appearance of alcohol. Very well done and definitely something I wish I could get more often.

Tap at Ginger Man: Pours a nice ruby color with a creamy off white, lacing head. The aroma is fruity and fairly sweet with notes of candied/maraschino cherries, marzipan and almond paste. Sweet, yet welcoming. Nice chewy feel with mild carbonation. The flavor is dominated by sweet/tart cherry flavors. The presence is very natural, however, making it pleasant. Has some almond paste sweetness and tarter cherry characteristics of cherry skins/tannins. Doesn’t offer much funk/tartness or wild fermentation suggestions, but has a very natural fruit presence and is pretty tasty overall. An easy drinker.

Nice, deep ruby profile. Lots of sweet cherries and wood. Ligh vanilla notes. Supercarbonated with a very thick, tangy finish.

Tried thanks to poperinge! Pours a dark red hue with a fluff pink head. iron on the nose with a hint of cherry, full cherry stone flavour with a background tartness that is extremely dry, a pleasure to dink!

(Draught at Den Tatoerede Enke, Copenhagen, 25 July 2008) Ruby red colour with frothy, pinkish head. Fruity, slightly sourish nose with distinct cherry notes. Fruity, sourish taste with distinct cherry flavours and hints of almonds. Some sweetness, but well within balance. Very nice and drinkable.
