Lakefront Cherry Lager

Brewed by Lakefront Brewery
Style: Fruit Beer
Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA

Bottle. Poured a clear medium orange color with a tenacious off white head. Smelled of tart cherry, a bit of hay, and subdued brown sugar. Light to medium bodied and delicately sweet up front with a light tart finish. I tasted tart cherry, pale malts, and a dash of confectioners sugar. Not bad.

Smells very faintly of cherry and not much else. Taste is very strong cherry, but not in a bad way. Kind of sour cherry flavor with nice thick malts. Very nice fruit beer

Orange-red pour with a tan head. Aroma of malts and cherries. Flavor of malts and cherries, kind of tastes like a soda at first. Leaves a really weird aftertaste.

Deep orange and bronze body with a bright white head. Bready aroma with some dark cherries and almonds. There is some sweet cake goodness here. The taste has sweet cherries and donuts. The finish has that cherry woody character that is typical of eating straight cherries. A little bit of bread. Better than I would have expected.

Crisp somewhat clear deep copper coloured body with a strong ruby highlight and a very thin tan head. Aroma of fresh cherries, apples and pears with a bit of yeast and malt - nothing else. Medium-bodied; Strong cherry flavour with some peaches and apricots tucked, along with some malt. Aftertaste shows a lot of sugar, some yeast and a bit of the fruits - more of the sweetness though. Overall, not a bad beer - perhaps showing too much sugar and fake fruits and not enough malt and hops...but this after all, is a fruit beer. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Oliver’s Beverage in Albany, New York on 22-December-2008, sampled at home in Washington on 24-January-2009.

Bottled Sep week 1. Poured a red-brown with a fizzy off-white head that settled quickly. Very faint aromas of cherry and grain. The flavor was mainly grain, no cherry. Light body, tart at first but then a light bitter as it warms.

Savannah, Ga - Whitemarsh Beverages - 12 oz bottle - part of a 8-pack variety sampler pack. Dark orange, slightly murky pour with a sticky white head. Pleasant sour cherry aroma. Hints of sour cherries in the flavor as well which are actually quite natural tasting and present a nice solid sourness. Mouthfeel is thick enough. One dimensional, but not bad at all.

12oz bottle from the mix pack. Pours a reddish amber with a light pink head. Plenty of tart cherry and malt character in the nose. Sour cherry flavor with some hop and yeast. Sort of thin finish, but not a bad beer.
