Can, thx Hrabren! Hazy ruby body, pinkish tiny off-white head. Creamy, candyish ginger-vanilla aroma, not much cherry really, cough syrup vibes somewhat. Smooth, creamy taste, bit malty, candyish vanilla-ginger-odd fakeish cherry combo. Might be that they are using actual cherries but they are burried. This is impressively like some random cream you find on a cake, one-dimensional as all fucks. Flat, smooth, creamy. It is what it is.
