2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20 hotstuff (3249) - USA - JUL 8, 2007
Tap at MABC in FW, In. Off-whte small head that was mostly lasting with a fair amount of lacing, transparent, visible carbonation, and an orange-golden hue. Nose was semi-sweet, cherries and a hint of malt. Flavor was semi-sweet, cherries and dry. Smooth, dry mouthfeel. Light body. Too one-dimensional IMO and lacks character.
2.5 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20 thedm (4126) - Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA - AUG 1, 2007
This draft brew from the brewery poured a small sized head of tan colored bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a transparent softly carbonated dark orange colored body. The almost non-existant aroma was malty. The crisp mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The mild flavor contained notes of malt hops cherry and semi-sweet. A decent one but not one that I would consider buying again.
2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20 BBB63 (5039) - La Porte, Indiana, USA - JUN 10, 2007
On tap in FTW: Deep golden hue with a small fading head and okay lace. The aroma has a light cherry juice character along with biscuity and grainy malt and a hint of dusty yeast esters. The taste a very faint hit of cherry but more basic sweet and toffee malts with no bitterness or acidic bite. The mouth feel is initially sharp but fades to a thin nothingness followed by a weird medical aftertaste. WHERE ARE THE CHERRIES? An udder disappointment to say the least.

Tap at MA. Strong cherry aroma on the artificial side. Reddish amber with a small head. Strong sweet-tart cherry flavor - slighly cloying. Light hops and artificial cherry finish. Liked the tartness of the beer but didn’t like the artificial cherry.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 patrick767 (2843) - fort wayne, Indiana, USA - MAY 2, 2007
tap at the brewpub - Pours an orange-ish color with a minimal head. The aroma is very mild and sweet. It tastes of sweet maltiness and a subdued cherry flavor. The body is thin to medium. It’s not a bad quaff by any means, but I would have liked more of... something. This is the right time of year for a sweet, easy drinking brew though, and it’s always nice to see MA roll out another new one.
