COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
An American style fruit beer made with Wisconsin’s Door County cooking cherries and lager yeast. The tartness of the cherry is balanced with the sweetness from the 2-row barley and the flavoring of Mt. Hood hops.

Nothing special here. A nice sweet nose. Enough cherry on the tongue. Easy to drink, watery. Does the fruit hide a decent lager? Perhaps, but I am not willing to find out

GTMW. Poured clear reddish brown color and an average frothy off-white head that mostly lasted with fair lacing. Moderate dark cherry tart aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium tart cherry sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Refreshing fruit beer.

pours reddish with minimal head. decent smell of cherries coming from the glass but not like you’d expect from a cherry beer. sweet taste, not too over powering on the cherry. not bad but also doesn’t stand out.

This beer is really pretty decent, but still nothing much to it. I like some more complexity.

A: The beer pours a slightly cloudy red-orange color with a thin layer of off-white head. S: I don’t get too much of a cherry aroma from this at first. There is a bit of cherry skin to it and a slight fruity sweetness, but as it warms up, the intense cherry comes through. Some yeast and grass, as well. T: There is some cherry sweetness and a bit of cherry skin. Just a hint of cinnamon on the back end. It’s slightly acidic and grassy with a little bit of bread/biscuit malt. Not very much going on with the flavor, to be honest. M: Light in body with a moderate to high carbonation. O: I wasn’t expecting much from this, and it delivered on that front. But really, not awful (which I was expecting).

A reddish pour with a small head. Not much lacing on my glass. Smell of cherries is clear with nothing else sticking out. Flavor was a little tart but not overally, not as creamy as I thought it would be. A little too sweet at the end for me.

Pours a reddish golden with a white head. Aroma is light cherry and sweer malt. Flavor is sweet, light cherry tartness and then an average lager with a bit of sweet malt. Disappointing.

Pours gold with a red hue. Aroma is of dark cherries similar to the types found in Cherry Pie. Taste is initially sour followed by a deep taste of cherry. Underneath with the cherry appears the malt sweetness and the beer finishes with a dry crispness that carries with it a lingering tartness. Very bubbly on the palate.
