junon (210), Honolulu, Hawaii, USA Apr 8, 2008 Big frothy head with spectacular bubbles. They look lively. Big aroma on this one however I think it would be better if it were more subtle. Smells too much like cherry cough syrup. Not as sweet as the aroma suggests which did surprise me. I thought that this was going to be in Lambic proportions which I can not stomach. This was nice and mild. I think this must of been the brewer of "Grape Pale Ale" must of aimed for. Not bad but only if the aroma matched the subtly of the taste. Feinschmecker (179), Seattle, Washington, USA Apr 8, 2008 Bottle. Powerful cherry aroma with a hint of wheat. Slightly hazy and somewhat carbonated. Flavor is however disappointingly one dimensional. Unfortunately the cherry flavor which comes across artificial, overpowers other flavor elements. Refreshing though. If this would have been a Bavarian style with cherry accents, the it would maybe better. Ramenen (453), San Salvador, El Salvador Apr 7, 2008 Had it on tap in the Miami Airport. A really bad one from Samuel Adams. Very artificia cherryl aroma and flavor. badlizard (2325), Berkeley, California, USA Apr 6, 2008 Another nasty beer from Sam Adams. Medicinal cherry aroma and taste dominates this otherwise watery cough syrup like beer. Blucky. leninthedesert (112), Nevada, USA Apr 2, 2008 I thought this was a great fruit-wheat beer. Distinguishable notes of both honey and cherry, a touch of roasted malt. Great refreshing pour! sinkhole (176), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Apr 2, 2008 Maraschino cherry aroma with a hint of wheat. Poured a light golden copper with a good white lacing. Strong taste of cherry which does not overpower the hop finish. Not overly complex in taste but very refreshing. BMan1113VR (2757), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA Apr 1, 2008 Pours with a large, creamy, off-white head with good lacing and retention. Deep gold color with a slight pink tinge. Very nice sweet cheerry aroma with maybe some kool-aid or cotton candy. Taste is solidly cotton candy with some artificial cherries. wheatfreak (41), Marinette, Wisconsin, USA Mar 30, 2008 Updated: Mar 31, 2008Poured a weak head with a thin body. Bursted with a cherry aroma, but that was where the accolades stopped. It tasted like the average fizzy barley/ wheat pop with marachino cherry juice mixed in as a joke. No synergy here.
