Tap at Front Street in Davenport on Nov. 25, 2011. Mostly clear pale yellow pour with a decent clingy white head. Nice cherry aroma. Thin palate. Taste is pale lager and a touch of cherry funk. They actually put a cherry in the sampler.

On tap at brewpub, pours a light golden with a thin head, aroma has a decent cherry amount and the flavor had a nice bing cherry flavor, pretty balanced overall, I actually enjoyed this one.

Cavie (3382) - Fort Worth, Texas, USA - MAY 30, 2010
Tap at the pub. Pours a cloudy dull yellow with slight head. Sweet aroma of cherries, fruit and soft grain. Cherry is evident in the flavor, that is balanced against a bitter backbone. Slight bitter finish with no fruit remaining. Surprisingly good.

drowland (4998) - Jacksonville, Florida, USA - AUG 6, 2009
Have had on tap a few times at the brewpub in a pint glass with a delightful cherry dropped in. This is probably my favorite beer of theirs, even though it’s a simple fruit beer. The flavor is slightly sweet balanced with a nice tart character while still tasting the beer backing underneath.

GeneralGao (3614) - Iowa City, Iowa, USA - FEB 13, 2006
Draught at the brewpub. Slightly hazy, golden color with thin white head. The bone-dry, crisp, and bitter characteristics of this beer melded nicely with the ample cherry flavor. Nice fruit beer.

heemer77 (5013) - Urbandale, Iowa, USA - JUL 13, 2005
UPDATED: JUL 15, 2005 Thanks for sharing the sample, Duane. The body is a light clear gold. The aroma is decent with vanilla, cherries and a hint of perfume. The taste is bready with a hint of the cherries in the finish. There is also a light peppery finish.

barleyPops (1137) - Quad-Cities, Illinois, USA - APR 1, 2005
5 oz. sample at the brewpub. the barkeep called this a cherry stout, but whether it is a fruit beer or a stout, the cherry flavor was minimal. an OK beer, nothing spectacular.

muzzlehatch (4425) - Burlington, Vermont, USA - JUL 15, 2004
Sample at the brewpub. Cloudy honey color, cherry cough-drop nose, a bit noxious. Some fake cherry in the flavor, little else. Not quite gag-worthy, but so what?

Crash (523) - Macomb, Illinois, USA - MAY 3, 2004
Redish color with next to no head. Strong cherry smell and taste. Stronger cherry than in other beers I have had.

JMerritt (1677) - Macomb, Illinois, USA - MAY 2, 2004
Red orange in color with a small head. Strong marichino cherry juice aroma, sugary and sweet. Too much artificial cherry flavoring, tastes like weak cherry soda. Light and watery.
