radiomgb (1920), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada Jul 1, 2008 Golden in colour, long lasting white coloured head, good lacing. The aroma is of cherry halls, incredibly sweet with some very light underlying wheat. The flavour is all cherry cough syrup and a very high sweetness. Sweet mouthfeel, light body, light carbonation. Finishes very sweet and quick.
This was insane but not in a good way. The sweetness overpowers everything in this, a step above a drain pour.
355ml bottle from The Jester, thanks Andy.
Opened on January 26, 2008.
Best before January 2008.
bluemooner (229), Blaine, Minnesota, USA Jun 30, 2008 Updated: Mar 29, 2009Pours a deep golden color with a rich, slightly off-white head. Very apparent aroma of fruits (or the aforementioned medicine scent). Very strong taste of cherries; a little too sweet for my liking. Also tastes of wheat with mild hops and some citrus notes. If you enjoy sweet or fruity beers, this is a winner. If not: do not buy. This beer is either hit or miss. rcasta (470), El Salvador Jun 30, 2008 En newark camino a porto y no es algo q tomaria de nuevo. Mas olor q sabor a cherry aunque un poco acida y suae. he probado de sam adams checkmatei1 (629), Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 30, 2008 Bottle: Poured a golden color with a white head. The aroma and flavor reminded me of medicine. Someone already mentioned robitussin, which is close. It reminded me of Chloraseptic. Yuck! I don’t like it when my beer reminds me of something I’d take with a cold. Not a fan. LiebeBier (788), Annapolis, Maryland, USA Jun 29, 2008 Bottle -Aroma is of a cross between a cherry slurpy and cherry robituson. Not good. The cherry flavor in this beer is way to forced and it overwhelms every other character of the beer. Drain Pour. beezz86 (68), Jasper, Indiana, USA Jun 26, 2008 Bottle. Poured with a slight haziness and an orange color with a nice white head. All I really smelled from the beer was cherries. I thought this beer had a medium body, a slightly thicker texture, soft carbonation, and a lingering finish. It is a sweet beer as cherry is really all I could taste. Overall this was not a bad beer, I just wish it had a subtle hint of cherries instead a subtle hint of beer. Baumgartner (108), Eau Claire, Wisconsin, USA Jun 26, 2008 Bottle poured to glass. Nice rocky, 3 fingerhead that smells heavily of cherry. Sweet malty goodness with a medicinal cherry after taste. Not the wilkie (1189), Raleigh, North Carolina, USA Jun 26, 2008 Bottle. Pours golden, clear with medium white head, nice lacing. Aroma is cherry, and some grain. Flavor is more subtle in terms of cherry, and has a decent wheat malt backbone. Little tart in finish. Generally a surprisingly good beer.
