COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Our perennial favorite is back! The Flathead Cherry Ale is a refreshing blend of a light-colored beer and a cherry flavor. We pour this one in our tasting room all summer but you never know where it could pop up next!

DuffMan (4428) - the land of bitumen, beef & beer, - JAN 5, 2012
Part of the tasting platter @ the brewpub. Very pale clear straw yellow, intense maraschino cherry aroma. Candy sweet fake cherry syrup flavour with vanilla accents. Watery thin. All wrong for me.

SHIG (2706) - Anchorage, Alaska, USA - MAY 27, 2012
Bottle: Poured a hazy orange with a white colored head. Aroma is fruit, cherries and grain. Taste is light cherry with grain, not overpowering fruit and a bit watery.

robertjm (682) - El Cerrito, California, USA - OCT 15, 2010
Really didn’t throw much of a head when pouring into the glass. Slight white ring of bubbles around the glass. Bit of a cloudy golden body. Light, almost watery mouthfeel. Aroma like a freshly opened jar of marechino cherries, sugary sweet. Flavor not nearly as sweet. Yes, there’s cherry flavor, but hops are a bit more pronounced in the flavor than I’d really care for. Not balanced. Cough syrup flavor in the aftertaste, albeit light. Disappointed. (Really disappointed as I just looked at the label and it says brewed with artificial flavoring and Red Dye #40. In Flathead Cherry country? Really? For Shame!!!)

omhper (15964) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - JUL 22, 2010
Draught at the brewery. Pale golden, small head. Aroma of cherry jam and root beer. Dry and crisp, fruity with light, almost hin body. No bitterness,. Root beer meets cheap champagne. Left me puzzled.

curly (2352) - Seattle (Newcastle), Washington, USA - JUN 19, 2010
Sample at brewery. Pale gold, foamy white head. Aroma of cherries and lots of them. Taste is guess what... sweet cherry. Medium light body.

mbgrayson (374) - Anaconda, Montana, USA - MAY 25, 2010
Pours a tradtional golden color, with a light white head. The aroma and taste are heavily dominated with cherries. I’m not much of a fan of fruit beers, and this one is no exception. Can’t really recommend it because the cherry flavor is just too much for me. It overwhelms the traditional beer aspects.But if you love cherry flavorring, try this one.

jcwattsrugger (9048) - Florida and, New Jersey, USA - MAR 19, 2010
on tap-pours a disappearing white head and gold color. Aroma is cherry, spice, marzipan, jelly bean. Taste is cherry, spice, marzipan/vanilla, jelly bean. Interesting.

kyzr (1140) - Belgrade, Montana, USA - APR 13, 2009
Bright gold with decent white head. Nose of almost maraschino cherry. Flavor is all cherry, but not a strong as the nose suggest. Good carbination with a touch of wheat on the crisp finish.
