Pastor (509), Maine, USA Feb 10, 2008 Thanks to Ughsmash for the trade
Bottle poured into my tulip formed a nice white head the goes to a ring of white around the glass all sitting on top of a Hazy red body
Tons of cherry aromas fill the room smells like moms cherry pie
Again cherry flavor not to sweet not to tart just right a great treat for the taste buds
Clean and crisp mouthfeel nice carbonation on the tongue
Will search this one out again, I really want more. My wife even had a few glasses with me and she is not into beer at all.
BlackForestCO (819), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA Feb 9, 2008 Updated: Mar 6, 2008Bottle thanks to tytoanderso. Pours a hazy garnet-amber color with light pink, fluffy head. Aroma is dominated by slightly sour cherries, it actually made my mouth water. Flavor is balanced pretty well, even though it is slightly sweet, but not cloying. Taste of semi-sweet, semi-tart cherries, with slight oak notes and a bit of balance added by a slight hops presence. Wish there would have been a bit more oak character to dry the palate on the finish, but it is still nice. Wish I would have shared this with my mom, she probably would have enjoyed it. Thanks a lot Tyler, this is good stuff. mgermani (862), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Feb 3, 2008 Pours a slightly cloudy brownish red, with a light pink-foam head with poor retention. Aroma is fresh cherries & black forest cake (probably kirsch). Holy fresh cherries, Batman! Montomrency, sweet and syrupy. Lightly tart, but not puckering - overwhelmingly fresh - just a note of dijon mustard? Good carbonation, lightly creamy, coats the throat very well. Wow! What a treat this was to try. Fresh, tasty, sweet, many thanks to my secret Festivus santa, Ughsmash! supremecrusher (6), Edina, Minnesota, USA does not count Jan 29, 2008 Amazing flavor of cherries is blasting out. Tastes like fresh cherry pie. I may have had a skunky bottle, but the nose was slightly smelling of wet cardboard. Overall i enjoyed it immensely and hope the second bottle i have smells better. barleycorn1 (10), Catonsville, Maryland, USA Jan 22, 2008 not too much in to fruity beers but this one is in another league. from the first whiff i knew i was about to taste something like i’ve never before. kinda reminded me of a jones soda since there was no alcohol presence. well done padrefan98 (787), (San Diego) Santee, California, USA Jan 22, 2008 Huge sweet and sour flavors of cherries, no alcohol which is nice and some malts. Very good. WISEGUY572 (1244), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 18, 2008 Easy enough to make a sweet fruit beer enjoyable, and this certainly was enjoyable. Nose of sweet cherries and tart fruit; people with me kept saying cranberry juice. Lovely hazy reddish color with a small head. Taste of sweet cherries, lightly malted, could use more offsetting bitterness, and a sourness that might also have come from the cherries or some lambic activity. Average mouth feel, not cloying or syrupy as I had feared. Maybe a bonus point for being low alcohol. Easy to get a high rating with a sweet fruity beer, but this one was nice. wj94 (64), Virginia, USA Jan 14, 2008 Pours ruby red with a one-finger light head with red highlights. Smell is all cherries, this is going to be good.....on to the drinking:
Tastes incredible with tart cherries and a medium mouthfeel with just the right level of carbonation. I’m going to have to drink this one slowly, a real treat. Putting this in my top 5 beers, would love to have more.
