Founders Cerise

Brewed by Founders Brewing Company
Style: Fruit Beer
Grand Rapids, Michigan USA

12oz bottle. pours hazy pink with white head. nose is loaded with cherries with touches of cloves and pie crust. flavors are very similar, like cherry pie, surprising amount of pie crust that I can pick up, some clove and spices round it out nicely. a good example of a fruit beer and probably the closest thing to liquid pie i’ve ever had, but fruit beer really isn’t my thing.

CLoudy pink with a medium white head with pinkish glimts. Aroma had cherries, almonds and marzipan. Flavour likewise.

Great aroma.....light notes of fresh Michigan cherries. Flavor is full of delicious cherries all the way through. Most fruit beers, especially cherry, taste syrupy and artificial, but this captures the fresh ripe flavor of a Michigan cherry.

Bottle at home. Cloudy orange red coloured with floaties and a medium sized light pink head. Aroma is dominated by cherries with notes of cherry stones and marzipan. Flavour of cherries and cherry stones with notes of marzipan. Dry finish of cherries. Quite good for a cherry beer.

Bottled. Pours pinkish copper with a nice, foamy off-white head. Decent lace. Nose is malty and fruity (cherry). Falvor is cherry pie, tart, slightly bitter, alcohol warmth, dry finish that lasts a long time.

Pours out a bitchass red colour with a pink tinge, minimal off-white head. The nose is grainy with a slightly sour, lactic cherry taint and spruce/grassy hops. The flavour is sugary sweet up front, with mildly tart cherries, cereal grain, and a tart, but slightly astringent finish. The palate is slick up front, but almost syrupy in the finish.

bottle poured a dark ruby color with a thin covering head of white foam. aroma has sweet cherry, and a light touch of sourness. mouth feel is thick but on the light side overall with plenty of carbonation. flavor starts off with cherry puree, some bitter sour, high sweetness, and finishes with some extract alcohol. the cherry thing does get a little syrupy.

Bottle from Ludlow Wines. Pours ruby red with pinkish white head that laces the glass. Sweet aroma of cherries and hops. Sweet flavor of tart cherries, hops, and a little bread. Light, tart mouthfeel with a sour finish. Refreshing, natural tasting fruit beer shared with the girlfriend.
