Pours bright red with no head. Aroma and flavor of cherry cough syrup with some cinnamon thrown in. Pretty wide of the mark.

Draft and 12 oz. Clear copper with a small, lasting disc of bubbles. Nose of bubblegum, alcohol, over-ripe apples and bananas. Flavor is banana, cherry coughdrop, alcohol, bread yeast, honey, pepper bubblegum. Finish has some light cinnamon and peppery wood. Medium body is smoothly carbonated, with a nicely watery and thick mouthfeel at the same time. Complex taste profile is pretty good, but just not one of my tastebuds favorite things.

Pours clear ruby amber with a thin beige head. Aroma- toffee, biscuit, cherry, mild hop spice, alcohol. Taste is slightly bitter hop citrus with a lot of bready malt to back it up. Medium light body with smooth carbonation.

Bottle from my local. Pours an amber orange with a thin white head. Sweet and spicy aroma. Sweet and syrupy, I can taste a hint of yeast. Not something I would have on a regular basis or more than one a night, anymore than that is akin to eating too much candy. Not a bad beer, just not my cup of tea.
