| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 8, 2005 10.02.05 Tap at brewpub. Hazy, opaque, but vibrant burgundy red color with a thin fizz of pink head. Aroma smacks of fresh berries, light, sweet. The stuff is surprisingly dry and clean to me. Not too sweet at all, lingering tartness reminds of the real deal. Acidity makes it refreshing and might go great with a spicier meal. I liked this stuff. OlivierMTL (711), Montréal, Quebec, Canada
