From the 3/2012 3R6P tasting. +++Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark orange-amber color with no head and no lacing. The aroma was bread, yeast and faint cherries. The flavor was sweet tart cherry, cherry pits and cherry pie filling. The finish was long cherry pie filling and yeast. Moderately full bodied. The alcohol was well hidden. Nice.

Thanks Jonas (and CapFlu?). Slightly pinkish, light amber. The aroma has candy cherry with some alcoholic notes. Sweet alcohol on the palate with some cherry notes. Fairly straightforward brew, not much going on. Most of these strong fruit beers don’t work out well.

Bottle, thanks Todd. Cherry, marzipan and light raspberry aroma. Golden red, low head. Sweet berry start, marzipan, sparkly mouthfeel, berry finish. Must have been amazing when it was fresh.

Pink,fast fading white head.Stale metallic cherry nose.Sour vinegary cherry flavour,unpleasant alcohol heat. Stale spicy yeast overtones. A poor effort

650mL bottle, pours a vibrant reddish orange with a small head. Aroma of sour cherries and yeast. Flavour of sour cherries, yeast, citrus, tartness and some acidity. Quite nice.
