Belgian ale with cherry and elderberry.
Deep dark red colour (EBC 40), with a light pink, compact and lacing head.
Soft fruity aroma, with hints of almond and mildly sour cherries. Sweet and fruity, with a nice balance between sweet and sour. An excellent dessert beer.

Mörkt körsbärsröd vätska med slöjigt skumlock. Saftiga körsbär utan tillkommande komplexitet. Sockersöt typ kandisocker och ännu mer saftkörsbär i smaken. Enkel och okonstlad.

330mL bottle, pours a deep dark pink with a small pink head. Aroma is cloyingly sweet, with lots of intensely sweet cherries and sugar. Flavour is likewise very sweet, with artificially sweet cherries, bubblegum, and candied sugar. Extremely sweet, though not as egregious as I expected.

330ml at Matt's amenity room. Appearance: clear purple with a read head. Aroma: a bit artificial berries, but it's not disgusting. Taste: along the same lines. Overall: not bad industrial stuff.

Dark red. Smells like cough candies. Sweet, again very sweet. Super candyish. I mean, why? Like, what's the point?

Smell- medium strong, fruits, sweetness, cherry, pear, herbal, fermented fruit. Foam- thin, sweet, sugar, cherry, alcohol, some wine notes and bit of acidic sourness. Comes down with warmth. The Head is quite small, pink, dirty pink color. Later seems like almost dirty brown pink, it sticks to sides a bit. Appearance- generic red bottle cap, but nice bottle design, the bottle itself is coated with creamy white bumpy texture making it look ceramic. Bottle design itself is ok, I do like the pink elephant. Yet again shame cap is generic, also sad that cap is glued to foil what makes cap cleaning bit harder. Hazy, dark brown, red color. From - snifter Taste - cherry, acidic notes, sweetness, fermented fruits, yeast, alcohol, few Belgian notes. Very fruity, sweet and tasty, quite alcoholic but it all goes well together. Also, I like sweets.

Bottle/Fest. A- Cherry. A- Red color, clear liquid, off white head. T- Cherry, grassy, white pepper. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- The nose was great although a bit medicinal. The flavor was good but was overspiced with white pepper and other medicinal tasting herbs and floral notes. Like it but certainly don't love it.

My wife pick up this can from Premiere Gourmet in Buffalo. Had to see if this would stand up to Tremens. The pour is a little ugly, with its cranberry red, slight pink head and chunks of lees floating around. Taste is sadly a little cough syrup-ish. The red cherry and berries is sickly and sweet. It quickly turns to a bitterness and gummy malts. Sorry this is a hard no.

On tap at Beer O'Clock Chamonix. Red with a pink head. Artificial candy-like fruity aroma. Sweet and artificial with just a light bitterness. Not my cup of tea.
