Bottle from Taylor’s Market in Sacramento, CA. Pours rather orange with a pinkish tinged slight white head. Aroma could be cherry and honey. Near med body. Flavor is fairly tart cooking cherry. A little honey, but this is cherry tart. Nice drink. With time the honey seems to get stronger, and I’m licking my lips and finding sweet. Still seems tart tho.

Purchased at Evolution Liquors in Chicago, IL; enjoyed at home while watching playoff hockey and setting up a new laptop. Appearance is like a light cherry juice, lots of carbonation at first that dissipates like 7-UP. Aroma is a nice blend of cherries and honey, kind of smells like a soda though. Taste has a nice light tartness, moderate carbonation, finishes dry, but is very easy drinking, also can taste the honey effect of this. Overall this is pretty great, I don’t know if it met my expectations because I was expecting something outstanding, but it is very good...maybe not $10 a bottle good though.
