Courtesy of mrspourhouse, thanks Susan. Pours deep clear gold with thin white head. The aroma is earthy berriness, tart berry notes and fairly smooth too. The taste is bolder than the nose hinted at with sweet rich berry goodness, red apple and modest fruity tartness. Nice crisp easy drinkin’ brew.

Pours a deep ruby with a vibrant pink head. Light, highly carbonated body. This beer is all about the cherries--slightly tart, sour cherry aroma and flavor. Refreshing fruit beer.

12oz bottle. Pours glowing hazy reddish orange with a small head that quickly goes to a thin collar.

The aroma is some bready malts, a little spice and slightly tart sweet pie cherries.

The flavor is sweet pie cherries with a little tartness and a little wood. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with low carbonation.

Overall, it's all about the sweet cherries. Too sweet and one-dimensional for me. A poor man's New Glarus Belgian Red.

the scores seem a bit low to me, but everyone likes different things. the aroma took a while to open up, but was close to matching the flavor when it did. pours a nice deep red with pink head. dusty cherry aroma at first that you had to work for, but by the end I was stickin my nose in the glass. mouthfeel was light, and quite soft. tasted oaky(?) and slightly tart cherries. Littlr sweetness, but lots o cherry. I was prepared for something pretty tame and this turned out quite nice. aroma 7.5, flavor 8.5...but the beer is worthy of a 4.0.

I had this beer on Christmas 2010 and purchased it at the Wine Gourmet in Roanoke VA. The beer poured a fizzy pour - it was effervescent and spritizy. The beer tasted sour and of cherries but wasn't what I was expecting (a lambic). The best part of the beer was the pretty color - it was a really nice cloudy pinkish color.

Okay...very interesting occurrence. My wife, who likes absolutely NO beer, took a sip, then took my beer. I told her I needed a few more sips for an effective rating and she growled at me. Anyway, it was very red, with little head and lacing. The flavor (what I got of it) was really fruity, smooth and silky. There are a lot of cherries in this one, definitely "more fruity than beery"...but I prefer all fruit beers to be off of middle, one direction or another. I’d call this a winner from Founders. I’d like to find some more so I could actually enjoy one.

Bottled@Oharas, Tampere. Amber colour, small white head. Aroma is fruits and some cherries and parfumed soap. Flavour the same. A bit ripulipaska over it as well.

I’m still not sure how I feel about this beer, even after the whole bottle. There were times I felt like it was on to something, but then other times it just seemed to drift off into nothing and just seemed one-dimensional. Received in a trade via daknole (thanks!) and the beer pours out reddish-pink color like the color of water after cleaning your brush using the red water-paint. Aroma was dusty cherries. Flavor was dusty cherries with a very light twang/acidicness to it. Not bad for a single bottle, but if these came in 6 packs....ugh...
