[1] Review by Chopz from Cantley, Canada who has tried this beer once. (3/4/2006 2:57:07 AM)
"Sampled at Vineyard in Ottawa, Ontario. Best before date is 16-01-06. Pours a clear red-pink-orange colour with a small fizzy white head. The lacing is thin and also fizzy, found in spots here and there. Candy nose of blackcurrant with a side that is medicinal. Watery mouthfeel. Starts off like a good tasting cough syrup, then goes to a sour finish. Some metallic flavour is found in the aftertaste, like rust and blood... or maybe just bad water. It does eventually go away. Not as bad as that sounded. The cassis aroma and taste are very nice and pleasant, well mixed, for a good fruit beer."

[3] Review by aracauna from Adairsville, GA, USA who has tried this beer (1/15/2006 10:22:14 AM)
"Rich tangy currant aroma, slightly champagne-like. Reddish brown with stiff thick head. Flavor and mouthfeel are drier than Lindeman's fruit lambics. You can also taste more of the beer than just the fruit. Closer to the taste of the taste of a gueze than Lindeman's as well with the sourness."
