nqualls (1429), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Sep 18, 2008 Bottle. Aroma and flavor of cherries. Cherry flavor transfers into a slight cough syrup aftertaste. Almost a very good beer. SODAK14 (106), Rapid City, South Dakota, USA Sep 17, 2008 I was afraid this was going to happen... Not a fan of fruit beers and still not. One of the few beers I could not finish. Good luck to those who like this style of beer. Danish (5), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA does not count Sep 13, 2008 A very good beer, great aftertaste, and just a hint of cherries. Not so much the cough syrup thing I have been hearing. HerrGehrt (2), Topeka, Kansas, USA does not count Sep 12, 2008 Seen a neighbor have one. I felt I had to try a beer this red beer. Aroma was good, but this beer had a cough syrup aftertaste I didn’t care for. djones (116), Michigan, USA Sep 8, 2008 Red color. Sweet and tart. Very cherry, almost like sucking a cherry a lollipop. Not my cup of tea. bsm80 (144), Massapequa, New York, USA Sep 7, 2008 Nice looking red pour, hits the nose instantly with a whiff of cherry cough medicine, taste was the same, too way too sweet, tasted like Vicks, part of a holiday sampler, needless to say I passed this one off. Necron99 (19), Clermont, Florida, USA Sep 3, 2008 Amber pour, and smelled like cherries with grain...I thought the aroma was very good. Taste sort of reminded me of cherry cough syrup...not terrible, but not very good. Slightly dry and sweet finish. Not a bad Sam Adams, if you aren’t a fan of sweet beer then you won’t like this beer...it is very sweet. Beerman6686 (1266), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 3, 2008 Pours a hazy light yellow color with a white head. Aroma was of lots of cherries, fake sugared cherries though, not sour. Flavor was much the same way too sweet. I really have a hard time beleiving they used real cherries in this and not extract.
