Poured a little cloudy, but upon investigation this is normal. Monster cherry flavor explosion. Quite tart but managable. This is a very unique and well done fruit beer.

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.

Beer has dark red appearance with ivory head. Nice lacing down the glass. Initial taste is sharp however the cherry comes out almost immediately. Finishes mellow flavor lingers nicely.

This beer is truly decadent. It’s like candy. Pour this into a wide-mouth glass to see how viscous it is and it’s dark ruby color. Take a big whiff - there’s no hop aroma there, but a deep, strong, dark cherry aroma. When drinking it, you’ll notice just how full bodied it is and how the cherry flavor coats your mouth. It’s almost like a sweet cherry syrup with fizzy undertones. It leaves you with a nice warm cherry flavor in your mouth. Imagine a cherry lambic without the funk aroma, flavor bite, or throaty aftertaste. This is a treat. I make special trips into Wisconsin for this.

Nice red color, aroma of sweet and tart cherries. Perfect for a special occasion or to share on a romantic night with your significant other. Doesn’t have a ’traditional’ beer taste so women who don’t like beer will even love this one

This stuff is great. Great mix of beer and wine. Hard to drink more than a six pack worth, to sweet on the stomach. Overall though very tasty.

Like I said in my Spotted Cow review I have tried numerous amounts of beers from New Glarus and this is their best brew out of all of them...there is an aroma of cherries when you pop open the bottle, a rich red color and well the flavor is just amazing...this is probably one of the best beers I have ever tasted!

Color a cloudy dark red on first pour. Cleared up after settling for a few minutes. Tart and sweet, just like a cherry is supposed to be. Retains enough malt and wheaty character to miss being mistaken for champagne. Well carbonated and well balanced with hops. A perfect partner with dessert, especially chocolate.

from beginning to end this is one of the best beers I’ve ever had. On tap is a totally different experience than the bottle. Much more refreshing and enjoyable.

Amazing fresh Cherry smell and taste. When you are looking for something different, this is it. Good sweetness but just enough tart to balance it out.
