Good natural strawberry flavor with the slightest tartness. Not overly sweet but very refreshing.

It looks good and it smells good! Red with a pink head Strong and sweet cherry aroma. Sweet and sour flavor with cherry juice. Thin, it seems like a cherry and cassis lemonade. A bit artificial. My almost-non-beerdrinking wife hated it.

Pink color, small head. Very sweet and a bit sour. Some soapiness, strawberries and sugar. Has the sweetness of a Lindemans or De Troch fruit beer. I would love to taste the basic Melbourn "lambic". It must have some quality..

12oz bottle from Pick’s poured into a shaker. Pours a very dark red with lots of black chunkies. Small bit of white head. Aroma of fresh picked cherries. Not the cough medicine kind, the good kind. Taste is lightly sweet and medium sour. Taste is some nice tart cherries. Light bodied with a sticky texture. Lively carbonation and a long sour finish. Overall, the taste is pretty good. Loses major points for the big black chunks though. It’s good for now, but we’ll see how it affects my stomach tomorrow morning...

12oz bottle from Pick’s poured into a shaker. Pours a clear dark gold with minimal head. Lots of carbonation bubbles clinging to the side of the glass. Aroma of peaches, alcohol and sweet fruity malt. Taste is light sweet and medium sour. Tastes just like it smells. Apricots, peaches and fruity pebbles. Light bodied with a thin texture. Very lively carbonation and a long sour finish. Overall, not bad for what it is. I would drink this again if I wanted juice instead of beer.

Künstlicher Fruchtantrunk, wenig sauer, nach Marmelade. Die Säuerlichkeit wirkt fast schon unpassend neben der aufkommenden Süße, weiter künstlich. Die Süße, die das Marmeladenaroma ausmacht, wirkt penetrant, das Bier unausgeglichen. Zum Ende herb marmeladig. Nicht gut und schon gar kein Lambic! 7/5/6/5/9/5

Warning! Early amateur rating! Sweet but also tart strawberry. Not as fruity as a Fruli but a still a nice beer!
