dwaggs2 (534), Lee’s Summit, Missouri, USA Feb 28, 2009 Bottle. Pours an amber reddish color with a little white head. Aroma is malts, cherry, and other subtle fruits. Flavor is somewhat tart with a cherry finish. Very drinkable, but not something I am going to be drinking a lot of. fogdoctor (16), Pennsylvania, USA Feb 27, 2009 Bottle, pint glass, approximately 40deg F.
This beer is close to undrinkable. It has an aroma of cough syrup and has a finish that is consistent with the initial impression. The is no "complexity", rather it is either cough syrup or wheat. Its too sweet, there is little hop flavor or aroma, and you can forget about any balance.
I do like other Sam Adams beers but this one is not very good. If I had to come up with a single word - nasty - about covers it. The only thing it really has going for it is an interesting reddish/amber color. I’m not sure why the ratings are so high for this particular beer. Gabler (86), , New York, USA Feb 27, 2009 On tap. Poured clear amber. Smelled like fake cherries. Flavor of faint cherrys and skunky wheat. Overly carbonated, felt like champagne. Not very good. jamvin23 (162), chicago, Illinois, USA Feb 26, 2009 Bottle. Hazy light orange light colored head. Aroma: very strong cherries, very sweet. Taste: cherry, wheat, and malt. Cherry flavor throughout. kidrobot (63), Sparta, New Jersey, USA Feb 20, 2009 Bottle. No smell, strong cherry taste almost tastes like cough medicine. Not a bad taste but couldnt drink more then 2 or 3 of these trayns (237), Beverly Hills, Michigan, USA Feb 19, 2009 Updated: May 1, 2009On Tap. Huge Cherry aroma and slight red, golden color. Taste is overwhelming cherry sweetness. Too much to get over for me, not a fan of this one. mixinnixon2000 (227), Chicago, Illinois, USA Feb 17, 2009 Bottle. Nothing too special here. strong cherry flavor. a little sour at the end. fidelis83 (709), Clinton, Iowa, USA Feb 17, 2009 Terrible aweful stuff, smells and tastes like stale cherry cola. There are hints of lemon and grain in there as well but really, it sucks.
