3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 ben4321 (3027) - Hoboken, New Jersey, USA - FEB 5, 2013Location: 12.7 oz cork and caged bottle from Total Wine-McLean, 2/5/13
Aroma: The nose is extremely sweet, with lots of fruit on the nose: berries, cherries, etc
Appearance: It pours a hazed golden-orange color with a small froth of white head
Flavor: It tastes rather sweet, but it has enough of something to keep the sweetness a little in balance
Palate: The body is fairly light, it clean feel, soft-to-average carbonation, and is minimally cloying
Overall Impression:
I figured I’d drink this one "mid-afternoon," since that is the time it is most commonly enjoyed. Anyway, this is an interesting one. It is rather sweet and fruity, which is not something I always enjoy, but the fruitiness works pretty well here. Overall, a very solid fruit beer. Even though it is sweet, the sweetness isn’t too cloying. Nicely done. I could see drinking this one for breakfast.

BB 24.2.14
Appearance: Pours a hazed, light gold body with a medium-sized, fizz-fueled, white head.
Smell: Ah, geez, it’s one of those five-buck medicinal cherry beers. I want this cleared up right now!
Taste: You can tell there’s a wheat-laced lager underneath a cherry flavor leaning towards Robitussin, which is the bulk of the taste lasting beyond the crisp finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium-plus carbonation.
Overall: The medicinal quality of this one is an instant turn off for me. Not the best use of five bucks, I must say.

3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20 Vanz (22) - Sydney, AUSTRALIA - MAY 9, 2013
Aroma: Sweet cherry, light bubblegum & wheat.
Appearance: Looks very carbonated, quite a thin head, lightly cloudy, pale straw colour.
Taste: First taste of a nice wheat beer, hints of banana and vanilla, second taste of bitter cherry and bubblegum, a bit metallic.
Palate: Creamy in the mouth, medium carbonation, overly metallic and bitter after-taste.
Overall: A nice aroma, although a bit sweet. Taste is very preferential, lovely wheat beer flavours, but the cherry is a bit sweet on the nose, and bitter to the taste.

3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 M_Sack (38) - - APR 25, 2013
Cherry, bubblegum, banana and vanilla notes. The palate has sweet cherries, bubblegum and then the wheat. Very slight bitterness and gentle malt towards end of palate. Very enjoyable and different lager. Perhaps slightly sweet to have more than a two, but would be enjoyable at breakfast as the name suggests

This beer is one of a kind. The nose is cherry kool-aid but the beer is dry and crisp. The cherry is only experienced in the nose. Very light straw color with striking white head. A good looking beer with a champagne-like character. Not overly bitter, slightly sour and refreshing.
