2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
22 oz bomber. Filtered gold color with a tan head. Aroma is more malt than cherries Tastes like there are some cherries in there somewhere but not really enough. Sort of like putting new rims on an old Yugo, as the beer before the cherries in’t that good to begin with. Together, this isn’t very good and a fucking rip off for $5.99.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a dark copper orange with a ruby tint and a thin, white ring of head. Nice semi-sweet tart cherry and biscuity malty aroma. Starts with mildly sweet crystal maltiness revealing some fresh, tart cherry flavor toward a full bittersweet fruity finish. An interesting, decent fruit beer.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Poured a lightly hazed golden amber color. Aroma of cherry pie filling, without most of the sweetness. Malt comes through underneath. Flavor of caramel malt and a touch of cherry (not enough compared to the flavor). not much sweetness with a mild bitter finish.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Courtesy of SuIIy, poured dark red, nice white head. Cherry nose, with a great cherry taste. Very very tasty, truly enjoyed it.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
22oz bottle. Pours a dark red color with a white frothy head. Nose is kinda woody, dry, lightly cherry. Taste is cherries and light malt, finishes lightly bitter and a little tart.
3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap @ MBGF: Cherry aroma with some moderate tartness. Cloudy ornage with a small white head. Flavor is kind of a cherry Euro-lager. Flavor is more sweet cherries with only the slightest hint of tartness. Not bad. Definitely better than Bell’s attempt.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Tap. Bright amber/red color, small head that vacated quickly. Not much aroma to speak of. Taste was very sweet, it felt like I was drinking a Cherry 7-up, actually. Too light for a wintery fruit beer, imho. I doubt I would get this again
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tap: poured an orangish hue with no head. Light cherry aroma. Initial taste is very week but turns to really tart cherry. Very pleasant aftertaste.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
At long last a cherry brew without cloying sweetness! I might even drink this one again.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Whoa, what’s this? The first cherry beer I’ve had that actually tastes like cherries! Yup, clearly there are good tart cherries in this beer and they hold juicily behind every sip, not so much that you think ’this isn’t beer’ but just enough so that you recognize their goodness. Well done!
