[1] Review by lenusik from Toronto, Canada who has tried this beer once. (6/15/2008 8:42:08 PM)
"This beer poured a clear dark red colour with a this white ring for a head. The aroma was overpowering on the tartness of the cherries. The taste wasn't as strong on the cherries but they were present along with the grainy malt."

[2] Review by myke from Wherever I am , Antarctica who has tried this beer once. (1/20/2008 2:16:13 PM)
"Sampled at Volo. WTF this beer smells and tastes like cheese!!! I like cheese and all but ewwwww. After about a third of the way down the cheese taste dissipates and a slight cherry taste does take affect, but this along with it's weak mouthfeel makes this nothing more than swill. The colour however is the one redeeming quality of this beer. Very red, very nice."

[3] Review by cyrenaica from Milton, Ontario, Canada who has tried this beer once. (1/10/2008 11:40:00 PM)
"12oz draught
5.0% ABV
I tried this beer on January 10, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe's" in Toronto. The beer poured a nice red colour with a creamy, pinkish head. The aroma was slightly hoppy with cherry tones. The mouthfeel was creamy, medium-bodied with high carbonation. The flavour was definitely strong on the sour cherries."

[4] Review by pootz from between Calgary and Waterloo, Canada who has tried this beer a couple times. (11/28/2007 8:55:49 PM)
"Sampled from the fermenter a few days before racking:
I think this brewer is onto something making a well hopped unfiltered ale fermented with pure sour cherries...has the sour pucker of a unsweetened cherry sour ale without all the hassles of dealing with lacto bacillus
Appearance: clouded amber with a pink tinge to it...massive frothy cap lasts and laces
Aroma: tart, fruity a tad musty-sourness..good nose for a non lambic.
Falvor: Devoid of sweetness...tart verging on sour, light mustiness and some wood, sharp hopping and a grainy malt undertone...finish is puckering like a unsweetened fruit lambic
This is a really decent fruit beer that is relatively successful in mimicking a sour ale kriek.....certainly more cost effective than Liefmans and saves you coping with that sickening Belgian candi sugar sweetness....this is a sour ale drinkers domestic quaff.
I think I’d buy this if it was a regular rotating offering from this brewer
