It is proper lager with an ABV of 4.4 %, which makes it substantially different from Radler style beers. Owing to the 13 % content of wild cherry juice, the lager is black and velvet red with a firm froth that leaves circles on the glass. The stone of wild cherry and roasted malt of dark lager can be distinguished in the aroma. Directly after a sip, the flavour is pungently sour with an almond aroma of stones, yet quickly turning into a slightly astringent flavour of wild cherry and a bitter flavour of roasted malt, which leaves a bitterness of dark chocolate in the mouth, resulting in an urge to keep drinking in small sips.

On keg at Blake Hotel, Walkley - Deep rich brown, lumpy froth on top. Nose is overwhelming cherry. Sweet on the nostrils. Taste is more of a sour dry cherry, nice dry after kick too. Quite a fun beer.

Sampled on draft at Hou Thoug this beer poured an almost black color with orange highlights and a medium sized creamy tan head that left great lacing. The aroma was black cherry and cola. The flavor was tart black cherry with a bit of wood, cola and an odd almost medicinal note. Long tart black cherry finish. Medium body. Ok.

Cask-conditioned at the Three Tuns, Bristol 8/12/2015. Dark brown with plenty of fizz. This was dominated by black cherry, with some sweetish malts and a tangy finish. Not really for me.

ON TAP at Budweiser Pub, Chișinău. Murky and dark ruby-red, grayish-pink head. Aroma is mostly dry stale cour natural cherries. Taste: dried cherries, not at all artificial or sweetened, quite dry. Light cherry tartness, some CO2, but not the brutal soda water acidity. The finish has a light and pleasant hoppy, roasty and cherry stone bitterness. Not a conventional beer, as the cherry is overwhelming, a good fruity drink with enough beer nevertheless.
