coffek74 (5), , Alabama, USA does not count Aug 3, 2008 Very refreshing beer. Not sweet, but smells like it would be. The cherry smell is so strong that you think the beer will be too fruity but it’s not. realbama (35), Birmingham, Alabama, USA Aug 3, 2008 Thin head, golden appearance, cherry aroma, not good. But that’s just me. If you like this kind of thing, then you’ll probably like this beer. So I give it a good score. lithy (1600), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Aug 2, 2008 Clear golden straw color with a fizzy white head. Nose is strong cherries and that’s really it. Taste is not as overpowering. A bit of wheat meets pale malts, some cereal maltiness with undertones of cherries. Only issue is that the cherries taste like canned pie filling rather than fresh fruit. mansquito (819), Boston/Philadelphia, USA Jul 31, 2008 Pours a white head that leaves some temporary lacing. Fuzzy light orange body. Aroma is straight up cherries. Flavour is mostly cherries, but there are noticeable wheaty beer elements in there as well. It has a slightly metallic finish. Also there is a little bit of citrus flavour. bpar73 (12), Bellaire, Michigan, USA Jul 31, 2008 Sweet cherry flavor. Golden color with light head. It is what it says it is and is a good change of pace but not an everyday beer. TheGent (143), , Massachusetts, USA Jul 28, 2008 This is probably the beer that Sam gets the most abuse for. Everyone says it is to sweet and not " enough like beer". But I like it for what it tries to be. Pretty refreshing and tastey but I will admit it can seem like im drinking a soda rather than a beer. Two of these should be enough before one moves onto something a bit more refined. jkwalking05 (1483), Arlington, Texas, USA Jul 26, 2008 Dark golden in color with a slight hint of red. The smell is heavily of cherries and almost seems artificial. The taste is sweet cherry but the finish is not a clean or crisp as it should be. WakeandBake (422), Greenville, Michigan, USA Jul 22, 2008 Updated: Mar 22, 2009Bottle. A normal golden lager type color with a medium white head that leaves some lacing. Aroma of cherry cough drops and honey, Flavor is much the same, a strong artifical cherry taste with some ok honey notes as it warms, way too sweet for me.
I loved this stuff when I first got into craft beer,but now I pass on it if possible. Love most of Sam’s other stuff though.
