The colour is dark red-purple (65 EBC), the liquid is cloudy. The two finger head is beige-pink and compact. No lacing occurs.
The smell is sour/tart with blueberries, raspberries and some strawberries. Some sweetness and dough in the background.
The taste is laded with sweet berries (raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, wild strawberries) and some sourness. Passing sharp sweetness, hints of yeast. Medium body. The aftertaste is sweet with fruits and berries; raspberries and cherries and a growing bitterness. The finish is all blackberries.
The carbonation is very strong and sharp, lots of large sort-lived bubbles. The liquid is a little sticky and smooth.
An OK fruit drink, but not much of a beer. Too sweet, too much carbonation.

I poured this in a small tulip chilled.
The color is deep red like raspberry juice with pink head and very fine bead.3.75 The smell is decent with very sweet aroma that is fruity like a cooler with floral and berry odor dominate with a light sugar accent. 3.25. The feel is very sweet and carbonated like a spritzer with sugary and fruity juicy almost syrupy texture but semi-dry as it finishes with low acidity and no bitterness to balance. 3
The taste is very strange raspberry mixed with currant juicy yet not tart very sweet with low acidity and slight berry candy-like taste w/ mild dark fruit sweetness and earthy finish w/ low yeast in the flavor.3 Overall I was not pleased - not worth having again -once is enough I suppose there are worse examples in the fruit beer style but not for me-I guess it isn't bad if you enjoy Lindeman's lambic perhaps 2.5

The beverage is clear red with hints of brown, a pink head that settles quickly leaving a few lacing and has small curtains.
The smell is very berry, forest fruit juice.
The taste is very sweet, red berries, slightly yeasty. Reminds mainly, or solely, of lemonade.
Medium carbonation, small foamy bubbles, slightly sticky, but actually some dryness at the end.
No, mostly slightly fermented berry juice. Does not strike anything in me.

This pours cherry red with a generous pink head.
Nose not too bad. A nice mix of fruit & a hint of fruity sourness.
The best part about the taste is that it's not too artificial which I found was the problem with their cerise.
Light bodied.
I'm generally not a fan of fruit beer but this one is ok.
