New Belgium Old Cherry

Brewed by New Belgium Brewing Company
Style: Fruit Beer
Fort Collins, Colorado USA

12 oz bottle as part of the new belgium folly pack. Bought the whole 12 pack just to try this beer, go figure. Pours a see through reddish orange with 2 fingers of off white head. Aroma of malt with a very slight hint of cherry. Flavor is sweet malt infused with dark fruit, bread and a little bit of woodiness. Decent beer, but wish the fruit came through more than it does.

got in a folly pack. Amber color with a little head that dissapates quickly .Aroma of malt with a very slight hint of cherry. rather enjoyable beer.

On tap at brewery. Pours amber in color with a very thin white head. Smells of sour cherry with a strong intial taste that fades quickly. Over all not bad for a fruit beer.

Pours a nice reddish color with a thin white head. Smells lightly of fruits which include cherries and notes of other berries. Taste is tart like a cherry beer should taste, however the cherry taste is rather minimal, if at all. Overall, a pretty good beer, just could use a stronger cherry flavor.

Sampled on 10/4/2008. This fruit beer pours a medium amber color from a 12oz bottle. Medium sized white foamy head, with decent retention and good lacing. The aroma is cherry and caramel malts. A medium bodied fruit beer. The malts are fruity, caramel and sweet. The semi-sweet cheery flavors are kind of subdued, and they mix very well with the malts. The cheery flavor sort of rises up every once in a while to let you know its there and then goes and hides once again. I kind of like it, but its kind of subtle. Good carbonation. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Draught at the brewery. Clear orange coloured with a red gleam and a small white head. Sweet aroma of caramel and cherry stones. Fruity flavour of cherry and cheery stones with notes of marzipan. Fruity finish.

Bottle thanks to a friend bringing them back to me from Colorado. Pours a amber color with a touch of red and a small whitish head. Aroma is cherry, with notes of malt. Flavor is slightly cherry, with sweet, syrup characteristics. Overall it’s a pretty enjoyable fruit beer in my opinion.

Bottle from kyzr. Thanks Mitch. Aromas of light toast, roast, some moderate yeasty sweetness and light cherry that gets a touch stronger as it warms. Pours a hazy amber tone with no head. Has some toasted aspects in this one with a little roast and chocolate. Ever so slight yeasty esters combine with a little cherry. Maybe a little spice in this from the yeast too. A little tart cherry picks up as it warms. Finish is somewhat dry toasty and roasty with some sweetness too.
