...and now back to our regularly scheduled Slutfest ratings. Medium reddish amber. Aroma is apple, slight cherry. Flavor is a match - almost like a soda, just a touch sour. Really, really nice.

Slutfest 2013: Cherry jolly ranchers aroma, green apple too. Copper, thick yellow head. Cherry, green apple candi flavor. Mouthfeel is a bot harsh. Extra delicious, but not very beery.

Slightly cloudy amber pour with a finger of khaki head. Nose is incredibly fruit forward. Tons of cherry and cranberry. A light tartness, some apple, and sweet fruit syrup. Great cherry flavor to this. Lightly tart, which balances the sweetness nicely. Good cranberry notes, some apple, and a hint of lemon. Mild vanilla, oak, and fruit syrup.

Sampled at Slutfest 4 - Sexytime! Amazingly great tasting and smelling brew. Sweet and crisp with enough sour cherry and cranberry for balance. Really awesome. My fave of the tasting thus far!
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Gigantic thanks to travlr for saving a bottle of this for me! Beautiful crimson pour with a bubbly white head that dissipates quickly. Nose holds a breaktaking combination of slightly tart apple juice, zippy cranberry, and sweet cherry. Gorgeous rich oaken vanilla adds to the complex sweetness. Reminiscent of Selin’s Grove’s kriek, but with the expected broader melange of fruit characteristics, and more oak character. Nuanced but easy-drinking, crisp effervescence. Absolutely delightful.
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 18/20
22 ounce bottle, shared among 5 people. Aroma is tart cranberry pie, very sweet. Appearance is a liquidy, fizzy, clear, foamy bright red. Taste is very tart, sweet cherries, cranberries, jolly rancher candy. Palate is highly carbonated, light bodied, pungent in your mouth. Overall it’s a great fruit beer, big flavored and distinct. This is a good choice for those who like sweet table wines, or for those who normally don’t care for the traditional beer flavor.
