Pours attractive garnet color with no head. The nose and the flavor are full of vinous over ripe fruits and balsamic vinegar.

Pinkish head. Clear ruby/coppery red body, attractive. Sweet bandaids, oaky sweet cherries. Off-cardboard/bbq sauce and twig finish. That type of flavor, is on top of a sweet/sour cherry. Its like they tried to do a Rodenbach Alexander, but, its not as good.

Blood-red appearance. Strong, cranberry-currant taste. Pleasant and sour. I’ve never managed to develop a taste for currants, but this was an interesting drink. Complex, slightly woody finish.

Bottle. Pours a deep garnet with a large pink head that deflates somewhat quickly. Big cherry, nice funk with a touch of sweet vinegar. Medium body, light cherry flavor, but not as much as I would have expected given the nose on this one. Nice funky notes, loads of carbonation. Finishes with a little bit of funk and a touch of sweetness.

Much compact and brittle head, little long-lasting. Red clearly color, lightly pinkish, much elegant and fizzy one. Complex and winy scent; notes of sour black cherry, must, red grape and cellar...very balsamic. Extremely stinging and racy taste. Pleasant must, tangy and cherry notes even if lightly top heavy and dry on the end. Little perceivable bitter.

Tastes like sour musty cranberries. Fizzy and sweet, like candy melted down and mixed with ginger ale. Too sweet and carbonated.

On tap at stone sour ale fest. Cherry red pour. It’s alright, nothing complex though. Cherries, light oak, and some sweet malt.
