Bottle from Belmont Station in Portland, OR--Poured a ruby-amber body with a pale pink-white head. Bubbly, nutty, slightly lactic nose. Some mild cardboard notes. Interesting and mildly funky. Good brew.

In the bottle from Beertopia. Pours a distinct reddish amber with a pale pink head. Strong cherry aroma, but the flavor is neither repulsively tart or sweet. This was surprisingly tasty and easy to drink for a cherry beer. Thin body, but certainly not watery, this had none of the typical cherry cough syrup qualities that I typically hate in a cherry beer. I’d even drink this again and that statement shocks me.

Clear peach color with thin white head. Aroma of light cherries, a touch sour. Taste of sour cherries that lead to a tart semi-astringent finish. A little watery, not a big fan of this one.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a slightly hazy red with a small head. Slightly sour with some cherry aromas. Nice because it is not overly cherried. Medium bodied. High to medium carbonaion. Fresh and quaffable.

Appearance: Pours a clearish, orangey body with a small, white head. Smell: What we have here in a basic lager with some sour-scented cherries tossed it. It’s kinda light on the cherry, but we’ve got a long way to go! Taste: More of that oh-so basic lager. Sippy cup filled with sourish cherry juice. Mild sweetness. Hint of ground aspirin. It’s a cherry pits finish, folks. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: If you’re looking a light lager and have a hankering for cherries, then this might just do it for you. I found it to be rather average, but, BUT at least it wasn’t questionably sweet or obviously "fake" tasting.

12oz bottle. orange color. The only cherry in the aroma is a distant smell of a cherry cough drop smell from a person standing next to you. Sour cherry tartness in the flavor. Light bodied.

Pours a dull cherry red color with white head. Aroma is cherry, grain, and some honey. Flavor is cherry, grain, and a sweet cherry finish.
