Enjoyed at the port. Champagne-like, dry mouthfeel with a pink tint. There is a nice amount of sourness to balance out the sugary aspects. Cherry all the way, but subtle enough to make it good. Refreshing. A very well made fruit beer.

Draft at Carlsbad. Pungent sweet cherry aroma with Maraschino Cherry aroma. Not really any beer characteristics in the aroma. Moderately hazy amber/pinkish color with a small whte head. Astringent bitter cherry notes to start with a mild malty sweetness to finish. Not bad.

On draft at Pizza Port San Clemente. They said it was brewed in Carlsbad. it’s a pinkish orange colored beer with a nice nose & dry finish. The cherry flavor was a bit too soft-drink like, though.

(Draft: Pizza Port in San Clemente, CA) Mon Cherry in Carlsbad, but Mon Cheri in San Clemente. Either way, this is a very nice beer. Wonderful cherry nose is quite aromatic but not overwhelming. The cherry flavor is both tart and sweet, and it dominates this beer, but it’s not a massive pie filling flavor like the New Glarus Belgian Red. Tart, clean palate is zesty and refreshing. The lighting isn’t the greatest, but the color appears to be a combination of red, pink, and amber, and the appearance is fairly hazy. Pinkish white head is small, and fades to only a tiny rim after a few minutes. No lace. My female companion hates beer, yet she liked this one, but this is not a girlie beer in my opinion. Even though there are always so many great beers on tap at any of the Pizza Port locations, this is one I’d definitely have again.
