Founders Cerise

Sampled at Oct Houston RB tasting thanks to Cavie. Grapefruit color and very clear and carbonated. Nose is tart and tangy. Taste is peppery, honey, cherries. Light and flavorful and would make a good summer beer.

[Bottle] Pours a ruby red color without much head. Aroma of cherry juice and some vanilla as well. Taste is predominantly cherry, with some light oak and almond notes. Quite sweet. Not too complex or tart. High carbonation level. Easy to drink, but needs a little bit more going on to be an interesting beer.

There is a clear separation of color from dark red to light orange since it was poured into a carling glass with a dimple at the bottom. The nose is weak some cherry syrup and champagne like. The flavor is sweet and full of cherry. The after taste is very tart but full of carbonation.

Pours from the bottle a deep pink/red color with a bright pink head that fades down fast. If someone were to just give me a glass, I would be hard pressed to tell the difference between this and Cherry 7-Up by the looks alone. Aroma has a modest cherry note and a very light clean malt presence. Flavor is a pungent cherry flavor that mimics the thick red cherry pie filling syrup to a "T". Sweetness lingers in your mouth for a long time afterword with the flavor carried on the moderate body and slippery texture of the beer. Overall a good brew but the sweetness is so high that it really is a one a night brew.

Tart and fruity. Not the best Founders by far. Tastes sort of like a Lambic. Very disappointing.

Bottled. Aroma has cherries and marzipan. Clear, pink-red coloured with a thin, off-white head. The taste is sweet with some bitterness in the bakground. It has cherry-marzipan mostly. Light bodied, not much carbonation.

Some one said flat cherry cola below. Ugh this is nasty! Never again. I see that many like this "style" but I will not be having any more...my first dud from Founders....yuck.....

pours an opaque rose color with a thin light pink head. aroma is faint....lightly bready and subtle cherry. flavor has sweet cherry intially followed by tartness that is not overbearing. mouthfeel is light and crisp with a refreshing tart cherry finish...kind of like black cherries. not my favorite style but pretty tasty...founders does a great job with it as expected.
