Sampled 12/3/08. This fruit beer pours a medium orange gold color from a 12oz bottle. Small sized white foamy head, with good retention. The aroma is cherries and sweet, with a touch of malt behind all that cherry cough syrup. A medium bodied fruit beer. The malts are fruity and sweet, lot of sweet cheery flavors, not sure if it Halls, Vicks or Ludens cough drops but its pretty intense and very sweet. There are some wheat beer aspects behind all the cherry flavors. That said its not all that horrid, its way too sweet and a touch watery. Mouthfeel is full and smooth. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Nov 30, 2008 This is the first Sam Adams beer that I’ve ever wanted a second of. The cherry is there, but not too sweet nor too sour. A nice smell, a nice pour.

Nov 29, 2008 Bottled. Man this is pretty awful. Its like cherry cough syrup with a little wheat and carbonation. Not worth the calories to me, drain pour.

Nov 29, 2008 12oz. Bottle: Aroma is all cherry. Poured pale amber/gold in color with a small white head that diminished. Clear. Lightly sparkling. Full of small particles throughout. Flavor is lightly sweet. Tastes like a cherry soda. Just lots of cherry. Light to medium body. Average texture. Average carbonation. Cherry finish with a hint of medicine and some dryness.

does not count  Nov 20, 2008 Awesome. Then again I love Cave Creek Chili Beer!! Sam Adams made one great beer here. Of course, you need to love cherries. If you do, try this. It is not a Lambic by any means, but it does work well. The cherry flavor is a hint, not an answer to this beer. The powerful Sam Adams hops comes thru well. My only disappointment is that the cherry flavor is "artificial". Why not use real cherry flavoring? Oh well..if you can get this on tap, pull up a chair and drink up!!
