Bottle pour. Pours a pale yellow. Very fruity aroma from a distance. Very champagne like with a lot of fruit flavors, including cherry, and orange. Very unique beer. Interesting.

Sample at Falling Rock. Hazy straw color with a thin white head that evaporates quickly to an outer ring. Spotty lacing. Aroma of malt, fruit and wheat in the nose. Light-bodied with flavors of fruity wheat, grainy malt and vanilla. The finish is malty up front with an off fruit aftertaste. Below average overall.

Pours pale and clear. Small white top, not very thick. Aroma is bubblegum and candy, mixed with some sour cherry lemonade. More sweet candy in that mixture. Taste is actually not as sweet as the aroma hints. There is still some bubblegum and sour cherry lemonade - but also some hop bitterness. It does not feel very balanced though, aftertaste is somewhat rough and feels pretty short. Not really my cup of tea - but I guess there is a place for this kind of beer also. Is it refreshing - for sure.

On draught at Lord Hobo 1/10/14
Frothy white head perched atop a rosy-red colored body. Clear and highly carbonated.
Sweet, sugary cherry is a bit suspect in the nose. Not going to mistake this for Cantillon Kriek, but neither are you going to mistake it for Quelquechose. It’s very dominant and leaves little else in the mix. Maybe some cotton candy and vanilla?
Yikes. Was not expecting the next best thing from the aroma, but the flavor is much more artificial than I would have imagined. Powdered sugar, cherry koolaid, light green apple and very little else. Tons of carbonation and a reasonable body for it size, but just offensively artificial. Like you took an american wheat and dumped 5 cherry pixie sticks in it. No thanks

Bottle from colonial spirits. Holy shit that smells like fruit loops. Pours a mostly clear medium golden color with a huge fluffy white head that persists forever. Very fruity aroma, cherry, raspberry, banana, powdered sugar, with hints of clove and a light yeasty phenol. The flavor is sweet and fruity less like fruit loops but more like skittles. Sweet sugar mixed with strawberry, raspberry, cherry and banana. Lingering sweet fruity sugary flavor long after every sip. Medium body with a spirited level of carbonation and a sweet slick bubbly mouthfeel. This is certainly different, but I really enjoyed it. The flavors are kind of artificial but they don’t hit you over the head or cloy. I could drink this again, and given the price I might just do that. About half what that other New Zealand brewery that distributes here charges and in a much cooler bottle.

375ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours a clear straw yellow with a decent white head, quite high carbonation, which is explained by the lager base beer I guess. Aromas of cherries and almond. Very strong considering no colour has come through from the fruit to the beer (unless they were yellow cherries...? who knows...). Taste has a light sweetness and something like sherbet. Palate gets a bit cloying towards the end, and the finish builds up some astringency. Otherwise quite a nice beer.

Bottle @Olutexpo, Helsinki. Poured hazy dark yellow with a white head. Very fruity aroma, pineapple, orange and light spicy notes. Flavor is the same mix of orange and pineapple juice, some light soury notes in the finish. Easy to drink, light bodied.

Light haze on this gold beer, tiny white head. Palate is light and a little crisp. Smooth and semi dry pale malt. Mild minerals. Touches of sweet apple and bubblegum ester. Semi dry finish. It’s all quite acetic and estery but oddly, quite drinkable!

Crisp, clear golden coloured body with a very thin white head that fades relatively fast. Aroma of pure blackberries, a lot of rasberries, a hint of black currants and some hay and grass in the mix with a touch of yeast - nice very fruity smell, even on the cork. Light to Medium-bodied; Assertive effervescence with a pungent raspberry and blackberry flavours coupled with some malt, alcohol, hay, grass, hops and a kick of yeast. Aftertaste shows pretty much only fruit, but some light hay and grass notes are there - sort of like a glass of champagne mixed with fresh berries. Overall, a decent beer, if interesting, but the combination doesn’t show too well to me - I’d rather have a fruitier beer with more malt or a dry beer with barnyardie flavours and less fruit notes. Still, great to try and good if you like dry fruit beers with more of a saison texture and feel, but a pungent fruit note. I sampled this 37,5 cL split bottle purchased from Total Wine in McLean, Virginia on 04-January-2013 for US$4.99 sampled at home in Washington on 07-October-2013.
