12 oz. I am not much for a fruit beer. However, this beer has synthesized some very distinct components. While its sweetness may override the hops, it makes for a fine cherry beer to sample.

Sep 3, 2008 Amber pour, and smelled like cherries with grain...I thought the aroma was very good. Taste sort of reminded me of cherry cough syrup...not terrible, but not very good. Slightly dry and sweet finish. Not a bad Sam Adams, if you aren’t a fan of sweet beer then you won’t like this beer...it is very sweet.

Sep 3, 2008 Pours a hazy light yellow color with a white head. Aroma was of lots of cherries, fake sugared cherries though, not sour. Flavor was much the same way too sweet. I really have a hard time beleiving they used real cherries in this and not extract.

Aug 30, 2008 Boy did I used to hate this beer. Tap at Uncle Bear’s. Had it again tonight and what struck me the most was the PURE MARASCHINO cherry nose. Unreal. Safe to say it kept me from hating it. I also found the fruit more mellow, less synthetic, and more blended with the wheat. Still, if the cherries were sour and they aged it in a Utopias barrell, they might have something proper...

Aug 29, 2008 Bottle 07’. Cherries and light wheat in the nose. Brilliant amber pour with crema head. Flavor is all cherries and bitterness. Cloying sweetness in the finish. Not a fruit nut so that has definetly colored this rating.

Aug 29, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pour is bright copper, slightly hazy. Creamy white 1 finger head dissipates rather quickly. Aroma of wheat and cherry, increasingly so as it warms. Taste is wheat malt, with sweet cherry upfront. I do not get any citrus, but a soft bitterness is present. Body is light, palate on the thin side. Very refreshing brew.
