Warning, not for the faint hearted.

Only the brave can handle this intense mix of sweet and sour cherries. It's bold flavours will leave even the biggest adrenaline junkie wanting more.

A mouth watering jammy sour, with an intense cherry overload. As vibrant in flavour as it in in colour.

Loose purple head left a froth on a cherry coloured body.
Caramel & biscuit aroma.
Medium bodied, foamy dry & clean.
Cherry Lips, biscuit, earthy & vegetal tastes with a tart finish.
Not my favourite style or fruit - it's a struggle to drink.

440ml can from Asda. Clear dark purple to red colour with a pink hued foam. Aroma of jammy cherries, reasonable freshness. I was expecting a full on sour from reading the blurb but its clearly toned down for the supermarket. Having said that there is a modest tartness and a nice fruitiness with a touch of cereal and yoghurt. A bit samey after a while but tasty and very drinkable.

Jammy is apt. Tart and sweet. Could definitely be amped up, but it's pleasant.
