Sep 20, 2009 Pours light golden with a touch of orange with a small white frothy head. Aroma is a lot of cherry syrupy and some wheat. Kind of a grainy character along with some other citric fruitiness. Flavor starts with a big cherry sweet kick, very strong. Gains some other character later, like the wheat, some nuttiness and a bit of caramel. Finishes lightly bitter and clean. Medium body and a soft but crisp carbonation. So so, refreshing ,exactly as advertised.

Sep 20, 2009 hazy gold, fluffy white head, nice lace. nose of (wait for it...) CHERRIES!!!! the cherry flavor is a touch less prominant (but just a touch) than the aroma would suggest, and there ais a touch of grain here. medium bodied, sweet finish. not bad for a fruit beer, but a little too close to cough syrup for me. hey... wait a minute... that gives me a great idea... i could drink all day... >cough< >hack< my throat is soooo sore.... single bottle purchased at binny’s in orland park.

Sep 20, 2009 Pours a light white head, initially you can taste the wheat, followed by a slightly sour cherry aftertaste. Overall a very light tasting beer, without a watered down aftertaste. Not bad for a fruit beer but I could not drink a whole case.

Sep 18, 2009 Pours hazy golden with white head. Nose is full of artificial cherry flavoring (not assuming it wasn’t real cherries added). Palate is lightly sour, with big cherry flavors (not lambic levels though), and a soft malty component towards the end. Easy to drink, good for a gateway beer and women.

Sep 15, 2009 A: Poured with a fairly large-sized, white head that dissipated to 1/2-finger size while drinking. Body is slightly hazy with a nice orange color.
S: Whewf... I was expecting cherry, obviously, but this is quite STRONG cherry. Very sweet-smelling, like cherry candy. I’m a little wary about the taste.
T: However, the taste isn’t as expected. There’s cherry in there, and as a whole the beer is moderately sweet, but NOT as sweet as I had expected from the smell. Crisp, sweet finish that doesn’t become cloying in the mouth.
M: Light-bodied, yet a slightly creamy texture. Average carbonation.
D: Wasn’t too impressed with the aroma, but otherwise this is a fairly-enjoyable beer that would be even better on a hot day. I couldn’t drink more than one or two, as the sweetness may become too much.

Sep 14, 2009 bottle: pint glass: color is solid amber, no head at all. Nose is faint cherries and some grains.... the cherry smell makes me nervous: fake cherry syrup?! We’ll see... Initial taste is actually grainy, I needed to chew through it to find the cherries... and as expected, tasted artificial.

Sep 13, 2009 Serving: 12 oz. bottle.
Appearance: Hazy orange with a small, foamy, white head. Okay head retention.
Aroma: Lots of cherries followed closely by light wheat notes, a little earth, and a touch of paper.
Taste: The cherry seems a bit overwhelming and artificial too. Earthy wheat notes with a little tropical fruit lurk in there. Light bitterness in the background. Okay, but not really my style.
Palate: Medium carbonation with a medium-light mouthfeel and a medium, cherry laden finish.
Overall: It’s okay, but too much cherry for my liking. Drink this one at your own risk.
