Commercial Description:
Our bumper crop of cherries in 2002 brought about our debut Pooka Cherry Ale. This was an un-hopped ale stuffed with fresh cherries- it had a wonderful pink head, a delicious cherry aroma, and an almost wine-like finish. This beer sold out in two weeks - so keep your eyes peeled for it next year, and watch this site for the lucky locations which will get to serve it.

Nice fruit beer this hit the spot for lunch along with some great grub. Light fruit with a nice malt backing.

GCBF sample. Maybe I just like cherries but I like this beer, apparently more than others do. Pinky orange. Cloudy. No head. Light refreshing beer with a strong cherry finish. Lasting sourness which is another characteristic that I like.

(Draught) Sampled at the Great Canadian Beer Festival 2007 in Victoria on September 7th, 2007. No nose. Very tonic and mildly cherry. Not much flavour here, sadly disappointing.

Draught, Railway Club

Slightly hazy light burgundy colour. The aroma is light, showing a contrast between cherry and diacetyl. Flavourwise, its like a LifeSaver - candyish fruits - with a harsh alcohol background.

RERATE: 2nd annual Vancouver Caskival. Not nearly as good as the first batch. Bright red beer, thin pink head. Light spicy aroma with a touch of yeast. Also a very distracting chemical and plastic aroma over a sweet cherry juice. Flavour is very artificial and chemical tasting. Very sweet cherry aroma. Sampled at the brewery in Sorrento, BC. A very pale pink colour with a thin pink head. Very delicate cherry fruit and floral aroma with a hint of sweetness. Very light body, but incredibly quaffable. Flavour is also quite subtle, shows light cherry, a nice acidic bite and a clean crisp finish. Very tasty. 6/4/7/2/13
