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.

Bottle with Butters at Second Cellar Reduction. Orange red color with a head that has a very light brown head. Smells like cherry pie. Sour with some hops and not enough malt. Cherry notes. Short finish.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright red color with a large light salmon head. The aroma was sour, tart and had a hint of cherry. The flavor was bitter, tart, sour and tangy with notes of cherry. The finish was medium length tart and sour berry. Interesting.

Bottle: Not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. A little too much cherry flavor. Other than that, very good for a lager.

Pours an ever so slightly hazy reddish amber with a thin foamy off white head. Aroma is weak but... tart cherry, grainy malt, a hint of grassy hops. Flavor is a little odd. Sweet grainy malts meet an almost yeasty spice, over a battlefield of salty overripe cherries and earthy hops. Body is medium thin a little syrupy and although pretty heavily carbonated still seems flat.

[Bottle] Pours a hazy amber color with very little head. Light fruit aroma, with a heavier malt component than I expected. The taste is what I found rather unappealing. Astringent and artificial notes are quite prominent in here, while the expected cherry flavor is very muted. Sweet malts and light sour notes are in here as well. Decent mouthfeel, but not quite what I expected.

Bottle. Pours a light amber with a small white head. Aroma of wheat, malts, and cherries. Flavor is light caramel, cherries, hops and a hint of citrus with a dry finish. Thanks JB

Bottle dated Aug 08. Pours slightly hazy w/ pinkish hue. Nice head. Definitely tastes of cherry, but only subtly so. A little tart, finishes dry and you can taste the earthy hops at the end. Nice in that it doesn’t taste like diet soda.
