beerchugger (286), Colorado, USA May 16, 2008 Updated: May 16, 2009This is a very good beer. It’s always exciting to crack open a bottle of this brew. The head pours a very nice thick inch or two and it remains for a while. The lacing is nice. Smells of, well, cherries. The taste is tart and sweet of cherries and the hopps bring good balance to this brew. Sam Adams did a good job on this one. It’s brewed well, it’s a good beer, but if you don’t like the taste of a normal sweet cherry, you won’t like this. Unfortunately, this beer has taken a lot of flak because many people don’t like the taste of cherries. Odyn (205), New York, USA May 16, 2008 This is a well constructed beer, but I just do not like Cherry flavored anything. I like the color, but the aroma and taste is less beer and much too cherry heavy. On the bright side, it does not linger. fattibobatti (246), Tallahassee, Florida, USA May 13, 2008 disappointing beer from sam adams, thin and artificial in cherry taste. i am not much of a fruit beer fan but i have had fruit beers that actually tasted like beer, this just tasted like carbonated cherrys. epf33 (222), Fairfax, Virginia, USA May 13, 2008 HOLY CRAP DUDE! THIS STUFF IS AMAZING! actually, i’m probly giving it more credit than it deserves DKTN (110), Mc Donald, Tennessee, USA May 12, 2008 Bottle, 12 oz. Light copper color with a creamy white head. Aroma and flavor of cherries, additional flavor of yeast. Interesting beer. tylerss20 (101), New Hampshire, USA May 12, 2008 A letdown the second time I tried it. Pours clear, honey brown. Strong fruit notes in the aroma. Taste is heavy with cherries, sourness, and mild bitterness. Not a whole lot of body, and ultimately a very mediocre effort from Sam SHIG (2012), Aviano, Italy May 11, 2008 Bottle: poured a copper clear color with a medium white head. Aroma is cherry with slight wheat blend. Taste is cherry with some hop and wheat in the finish, mostly cherry. fiver29 (703), Cleveland, Ohio, USA May 11, 2008 Bottle pours golden with a thin white head. Smells of cherry dominate. Tastes like mostly cherry with hints of beer. Not a very good fruit beer.
