El Bolson Cereza

Brewed by Cerveceria Artesanal El Bolson
Style: Fruit Beer
El Bolson, Argentina

Serve in Flute

Drank at brewery on tap. Reddish brown, pleasant cherry aroma. Quite sweet. Distribution issues in Patagonia with bottles.

Bottle conditioned, a cloudy reddy-brown with a filmy head. An aroma of cooked cherries and bready malt. A very bready flavour, some cherry, but the sweetness is too strong.

Appearance: brown reddish color, but not as to me I like. Low to medium head, beige color, medium persistence and density. Good foam. Aroma: sweet of wild red fruits and main to cherry, toasted sugar and something spicy. Similar to the cassis beer. Flavor: very sweet with high presence of cherry, sourness of wild red fruits and after taste malted. Low hoppiness. Palate: medium body and semi-oily. Low carbonation. Poor fruit beer, but the best from “El Bolson” brewery. (sorry for my english)

Bottle version imbibed in December 2002. Tart cherry aroma. Poured a reddish amber. Started off tart, then a light cherry sweetness. Faint malt aftertasted. Low carbonation. By far the most enjoyable of their fruit beers.

Clear, deep red, almost black. Very full head, likewise a very full body. Sweet cherry flavour, without being too sweet, still definately a dessert beer. Very rich and sweet, you’d vomit if you had more than 2 of these!
