SledgeJr (2957), Omaha, Nebraska, USA May 15, 2008 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. esjaygee (1467), Oak Creek, Wisconsin, USA Apr 20, 2008 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. sunevdj (1765), Copenhagen OE, Denmark Apr 19, 2008 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. kp (8400), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Apr 5, 2008 Date: 03/15/2008

ChainGangGuy (2523), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA Mar 21, 2008 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. unclemattie (2370), Georgia, USA Mar 18, 2008 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. shp555 (1678), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Mar 15, 2008 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. ratman197 (3139), Arvada, Colorado, USA Mar 13, 2008 Bottle poured a hazy ruby with a small lingering light pink head. Aromas of cherry, bread and light carmel. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of sour pie cherries, bread and light carmel with a crisp lingering cherry finish.
