A tart cranberry nose mellows in the mouth to sweet cherries and green foliage. It’s very smooth and easy. I found it a little sweet overall. It lacked any real depth. All bark, no bite. All cock, no balls. What is a party if it doesn’t really rock?

Bottle from Once Upon a Vine, Richmond. Dullish brown pour with minimal crisp carbonation. Faint oak in the nose and dark cherry tartness, nothing too sharp. Oxidized and off-putting dry, vegetal finish. Some mild cherry and brune-ish flavors remain, but it’s gone medicinal.

12oz bottle dated best before 14-08-09. Clear pink-red color with light pink bubbles. Smells like a little vinegar and cherries. Sweet-sour cherry taste, syrupy, sticky, interesting beer. The stickiness is a little much for my liking but the flavor is better than average. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 02-22-2009 04:30:29
