3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at the brewpub. Poured a deep auburn-red color with a slight off-white head. Aroma of light cherries. Taste was basically all cherries, but not the tart, sour taste that I was hoping for. Not overly fruity. It was nice, but not what I was expecting when I read the description.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tap, 2005. Pours with a fading head and a dark clear copper color. Very light aroma with just the slightest hints of sweet cherries. Taste is earthy, dark cherries, cherry cobbler comes to mind. Hardly tart, a real departure from the sour brown styles. Interesting and enjoyable, though not overly complex. Body could be maltier. Dry finish, cherries become more apparent.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: SEP 28, 2004 Coopersmith's Anniversary Cherry Ale poured dark ruby red with a nice head with medium bubbles that quickly dissipated except for a small remainder. It had a mild cherry bouquet. The beer had a nice cherry taste that was not overwhelming, but it had a slightly acidic aftertaste. Normally, I'm not a big fruity beer fan, but this cherry was fairly mild and very drinkable.
