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.

Bottled. Poured slightly hazy medium orange with a short, sticky cap of white head. The aroma picked up dry, tart cherry dust and and grains with a touch of vegetal undertones.. more cherry candy (like Jolly Ranchers) with warmth. The flavor had lots of dusty cherries again with some syrupy cherries and wheat backing.. very sweet, short finish. Light-bodied with a dry, spritzy feel to it.. OK overall.

Pours a reddish-orange coloured body with a small white head. Cherry flavor is prevalent but is not as pleasent compared to Sam Adams cherry wheat. Aroma is of cherries, grain and pear. decent overall.

Big 20 beer tasting at Three Cellars Milwaukee.Beer and cough drops is the best way to describe this. The cherry is a bit too sweet for my tastes.

Pours a raspberry pink with a medium head that disappears quickly. Faint aroma of grain and sour cherries. Very tart cherry taste. No medicinal taste at all, which is my fear with cherry beers. Not all that bad!

You sure do get the whiff of cherry,mixed in with the grains it takes on an artificial cherry nature, taste is a quick hit of cherry,again that becomes very artificial and astringent when your wacked with the following grain and hopping. There will be people who like this,but to me ,the combination isn’t working

I do not think that this beer is as bad as the other folks rating it. It has a nice subtle aroma of cherry, and a nice drinkable cherry taste.

12oz. Bottle: Aroma of tart cherries only. No discernible malt or hop aroma. Poured amber in color with a medium-sized, creamy, off-white head that disappeared. Hazy. Some small particles. Sparkling. Flavor of tart cherries, corn, and barley. Medium body. Average texture. Average carbonation. Disgusting wheat and corn finish. Sweetness of cherries is not well balanced with funky grains. Drain pour.

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.
