Rciesla (3510), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA Apr 25, 2009 I wanted to enter something very special to me for 2250, and that is this abomination. I am often a sucker for a decent fruit beer but man do i hate this cherry wheat toast y malt medicinal bullshit. I despise this beer, i cringe whenever it gets mention in a commercial usually next to a decent offering like the cream stout. A horrendous Robitussin bitterness to boot. One plus side is you can smash the bottle when your done. JuStuka (187), Edo De Mex, Mexico Apr 25, 2009 Golden color, white head, aroma of cherries (obviously), mm not bad but it’s not for me. TomTom (4), Texas, USA does not count Apr 21, 2009 mild aroma of wheat and cherry, it has a foamy off white head that mostly dissipates but leaves some lacing while it is there, a nice wheat flavor with cherries and a slightly bitter hops finish. halfonit (423), Fall River, Massachusetts, USA Apr 18, 2009 Not too bad. It has a strong cherry flavor. Not a lambic ( that’s why it’s considered a FRUIT beer) but a decent cherry flavor. Leaves a little bit of a nasty aftertaste, something similar to medicine (maybe a flaming Homer). But overall, I’d have to say that if I was given one again, I’d drink it. tgncc (796), Bellmore, New York, USA Apr 17, 2009 The aroma is cherries, wheat (duh!!!). The cherries seem forced on what is a run of the mill wheat ale. The aroma is cereal grains, wheat, forced cherry. The apearance is the standard hazy gold color of a wheat beer, slight amber hue. The flavor is just like any wheat ale, but a cherry syrup flavor pops in. The finish is a modest hoppy flavor, and a sugary, fruity residue. Not bad on a hot summer day, not great by any means. RWWP (18), Ancaster, Ontario, Canada Apr 15, 2009 The name says it all - a wheat beer with the aroma and taste of cherry added. Light malt. Nice quaffing on a summer day, but unremarkable. randolphjj (89), Raymore, Missouri, USA Apr 14, 2009 The aroma really is the best thing about this beer. Gentle hint of cherry and a bit of the wheat. Poured from a bottle and a bit much on the in-bottle sediment with this pour. Maddog (231), Kettering, Ohio, USA Apr 13, 2009 This beer is shamefully poor. It is certainly not a lambic, and yet, a wheat beer with fruit added is usually a very good thing. This beer is a very weak and poor wheat beer with certainly cherry juice added. The cherry is only a faint presence and tastes more like a cherry cough drop or cherry candy than a beer put on secondary fermentation on natural cherries. Just a poor beer, thank goodness I did not pay for it.
