Who's been drinking this

Definitely avoids the cough syrup-ness of the last tasting, although it does very much skirt the edge. Nicely tart up front; there's just a hint of too-sweet on the aftertaste.

Maybe it was in opposition to the Hanami but this was very much on the edge of syrupy.

Builds tartness over time but goos taste
Tastes great but would not drink as a beer. Strong cherry and chocolate taste.
Bottle tasting at Work
High rating because this may be the tastiest sparkling fruit juice I've ever had. Blind, you'd be hard pressed to identify this as a beer, or even alcoholic. Tart, strong cherry flavor is the key, and it's very good.
Good as a sparkling fruit juice. Hard to tell it is a beer.
I'll admit, this is only barely a beer. It is completely fruit. Nonetheless it was my entry point and you gotta stand by the one you came with.

Forty pounds of cherries in each sip.
