Founders. YOU LURE ME IN WITH YOUR SWEET SWEET FRUITY BEERS. I will never learn. Your fruit beer will drive me to wine coolers and girly martinis. I’m comfortable with that, but are you? I’ve never seen a hot pink beer before. But I’ve also never inhaled cherry fumes. I didn’t know cherries emit fumes, honestly. Cherry pie with cinnamon fumes, precisely. The only thing that comes close is Belgian Red, but the fumes are more fumey here. Dances like a cherry pie too--some perverse ethereal elven cherry pie, woven from moonbeams and gossamer. Lower carbonation, but it still dances so, there must be a dash of fairy dust. My tastebuds disagree. Far too much lively acidity for moonbeams and gossamer doesn’t finish nearly so cleanly. Again with that cinnamon, but maybe it’s nutmeg. Just a hint, a hint mind you, of that acrid vomit sort of acidity in the start, but in a good way. Sweet up the middle. Long tart finish. I want to replace my blood with this beer and live forever in a magical forest under the ocean. Man up and give this beer the rating it deserves!

Jan 2, 2010 Pours a vivid pinkish-red with pink head. Dry cherry aroma. Strong cherry flavor but not overpowering. Sweet but balanced out nicely with some tartness. Not a lot of body, but flavor is really good; doesn’t taste artificial. A relatively dry finish. Listed at 6.5%, but this is very deceptive; tastes more like 3.5%. I imagine this could kick you in the @ss pretty quickly. Very good session ale.

Jan 2, 2010 It’s reddish with a slightly pink, creamy head. The aroma has notes of cherries and almonds. The flavor is sweet with notes of cherries and almonds, but IMO it’s a bit thin/watery, I would have liked more body. Otherwise it’s OK and refreshing.

Dec 29, 2009 Bottle 355 ml
Appearance: slight haze on cloudy ruby with copper accents. Pinkish mid light top.
Nose: Strange organic earthy nose , hint of aged dry wood with fruity finish. Is this effect of cherry pits that were used in this ale? 5+
Flavor/Palate : mid bodied , frontal character of cinnamon spice with mil cherry sugar coat laceing. Subtle and lighter fruit brew. Bonus : nicely rounded and end. Spiced cherry pie anyone?

Dec 27, 2009 Bottle. Slight hazy reddish with off white head that has a little pink glow to it. Aroma of cherries, gum, perfume, alcohol and a little burned rubber. Flavour is slightly sour though sweet with cherries and has an earthy bitterness to it. Not quite my thing, but still not a total catastrophe as it has some interesting notes in flavour that just lacks power in it’s expression.

Dec 24, 2009 I’m still not sure how I feel about this beer, even after the whole bottle. There were times I felt like it was on to something, but then other times it just seemed to drift off into nothing and just seemed one-dimensional. Received in a trade via daknole (thanks!) and the beer pours out reddish-pink color like the color of water after cleaning your brush using the red water-paint. Aroma was dusty cherries. Flavor was dusty cherries with a very light twang/acidicness to it. Not bad for a single bottle, but if these came in 6 packs....ugh...

Dec 24, 2009 Bottle. Pours a reddish hued color with a small white head that receedes to a filmy island with a small white ring. Nose is cherrys with a light biscuit malt note. Palate is syrupy and filmy, medium bodied. Flavor is cherry up front but finishes strong with a nice biscuity malt note and a stale malt and sticky swallow.

Dec 22, 2009 Bottle. Light sweet cherry aroma - subtle. Red-amber color with minimal head. Sweet-tart cherry malt flavor - nice dry finish. Very nice.

Dec 19, 2009 355mL thanks to Santa!!! Pours a translucent, beautiful pink with a one-finger, white, dense head that has very good retention. Leaves excellent lacework. Aroma is cherry juicy juice, artificial cherry candies. Fairly muted though. Taste is actually fairly tart cherries. Nothing like a kriek lambic but certainly this is not a sweet, contrived fruit beer. After the initial blast of cherries, this becomes a medum-bodied, creamy session ale.
