Bottled (thanks fonefan!). Hazy reddish brown colour, mediumsized brown head. Aroma is marzipan and raspberries and that’s about it. Flavour is raspberries, marzipan and vanilla. A bit too sweet to be really nice though.

Bottle @ fonefan tasting. Nice pink head with good duration. Color is hazy dark red. Aroma and taste are rich cherries, malt, sugar and has a nice fruity finish. Great taste if you like sweet cherry pie.

Pink-amberish head, fed by lively carbonated, muddy garnet beer. Sharp, oppressive - near astringent - nose of cherry concentrate. Something lactic as concentrated milk going sour.... Presageful. Malty-fruity-syrupy-lactic, and again all odds, better than expected. Think the high malt bill saves the beer a bit - which doesn’t changes a thing to the artificial cherrysyrup flavour. Well-bodied, slick, sticky, syrupy and velvety, but spritzy at the same time. Remains a fake-fruitbeer.

33cl bottle @ home shared with Dutchdrebus. Indeed a ruby red color, full sized pink head. Smell artificial cherries and sweetness. Taste cherries, artificial cherries, sweetness, lightly alcohol. Not my thing at all! Medium carbo, lightly sticky texture, low to medium body.
