May 30, 2007 Bottle, 75cl. (thx to papsoe) Red, almost clear brew with a slightly artificial-feeling cherry nose, followed by almond and sugar. Marzipan, cherry and sugar in the flavor. Full, sticky mouthfeel. Astringent, citric finish with cherry. Too sweet, almondy and artificial-feeling. Unbalanced on the sweet side. Ok, so it’s a nice beer, but I can’t understand why it has so high ratings. (070510)

May 25, 2007 Wow, what a brew. Starts with popping the top and getting hit in the face with the aroma, awesome. Cherries, cherries, cherries. Smell, taste, everywhere. Full bodied, and easy to drink.
THanks a bunch TT.

May 23, 2007 Bottle purchased in Madison, WI. Are you sure this is beer? Pours a light reddish-brown, with a medium head that dissipates quickly. Very sour, and very, very cherry. The taste reminds me of real cherry pie - not pie filled with that crap you can buy in a can! It’s sweet on the lips, and it makes your mouth pucker. I could drink several of these in one sitting!

May 22, 2007 Updated: Jun 16, 2007Have been waiting years to try this and I was not disappointed. Sweet sour and just a hint of hops in the finish. May have bought 6 more bottles. Page 330 of Michael Jackosn’s Great Beer Guide and 192 of his 500 Classic Brew’s to go.

May 21, 2007 Pours deep red with a thin off-white head. Very sweet aroma of cherries. Taste is very tart with strong cherry presence. Very hard to drink much of this because of the sweetness.

May 20, 2007 Updated: Mar 31, 2009(Bottle 75 cl) Pours a hazy, reddish with an off-white head. Distinct aroma of sweet cherries and marzipan. Medium body with rich, sweet cherries - thick and almost like cherry sauce. Extremely fruity but definitely needs something to balance the extreme sweetness. Not a bad fruit beer at all, but I simply don’t understand the high ratings on this one. So many much better New Glarus beers around. 100507

May 18, 2007 25 ounce bottle. Flute. Reddish brown with a medium tan head. Aroma was all cherry pie. Taste was tart, sweet cherries. Well carbonated with some sour notes coming in as it warms. I definitely don’t think of beer when I drink this. It tastes more like cherry pie and ice cream, but wonderful none the less.

May 12, 2007 Pours muddy brown in color with hints of red and orange. Very murky and opaque. Mmm, smells like a freshly baked cherry pie. Damn, I can almost smell the crust too. Sweet cherry jam and lemon/green apple tartness aromas in there too. Taste is like a sweet cherry-apple cider with a tart finish. Effervescent-tingling on the tongue, carbonated like a sparkling wine. High points for uniqueness and although I couldn’t drink many of these back to back for the fruitiness, this beer is quite the experience and and an incredible fruit beer.
