Fruity cherry flavor. Much better then I expected. Delicious! It is a pinkish cherry red color. It has a fresh, sweet, and crisp flavor.

I was immediately taken to the excellent perfume of cherries but not impressed by the mediocre appearance - little head, not much to look at period. The taste was nothing like i expected. it was chock full of cherries, but only slightly sweet and tart. Don’t expect something like a lindeman’s - it’s much more beer-like. there were a ton of different flavors competing to be heard in this beer and I found each of them mouth-watering delicious. The palate was incredibly smooth and full and really completed this beer. Overall, I expect to keep this beer on hand as soon as I can find it reasonably priced by the case.

Sweet, tart cherries, but not overly so. It doesnt go overboard with a big dose of alcohol. Just the right amount of hops on the tongue to let you know your not drinking wine here. This is a very good fruit beer. Definitely a repurchase.

Bottle:
Poured cloudy red with slight head. Aroma was mild cherry. Flavor was a mild cherry, but with staying power. Flavor really developed half way through. Very good beer without the extreme tart and sweet flavors of some fruit beer.

12 oz. bottle from Princeton’s. Appearance is pink with a thin white head. Tart cherry aroma. Light cherry flavor, not overpowering. Nice sweet finish. Great beer - something I would definitely drink again.

It doesn’t have a whole lot of smell. Floral, rose petal taste without being hoppy or bitter. The color of blush wine. Lightly sweet, lightly fruit, lightly tangy.

Cerise pours a brilliant rose color with a delicate white head. Small champagne like carbonation races from the bottom of the glass. The aroma is intoxicating, big ripe tart cherries complimented by a faint wisp of malt. Deceptively crisp and light, at 6.5% this bad boy will undoubtedly precipitate some interesting evenings. An initial blast of sweetness is rounded out by a rich enveloping tartness. Refreshingly sour, seductively sweet, this beer is a marvel. Free from the cloying sweetness and medicinal harshness that is too often indicative of this style, this fine fruit beer truly raises the bar.
