Founders Cerise

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

12oz bottle courtesy of theisti. Nose is very light, hints of spicy cherries and wheat. Taste is surprisingly well-done given the somewhat boring nose. Musty cherry and vanilla bean with nice carbonation and a background malt that only occasionally shows itself. Well done fruit beer, though not a world-beater and pretty straightforward. Thanks, Tim.

Tap at Founders back in Feb ’09 - Pour an amber red with no head at all. There’s barely any smell at all, but the flavor is all cherries. There’s a bit of fizzy carbonation, and it feels real thin on the mouth. Reminds me a bit of the cherries in the New Glarus Belgian Red, but without the complexity and balance. Note: rating originally entered as Founder’s Cherry Ale, which has since been deleted.

bottle, pin color with pink foam, aroma is a dry cherry, flavors are fermenting cherries, pie filling, pie crust, almost a Belgian Red, smooth sour finish

Bottle courtesy of ’The Dork’. Pours a reddish amber colour with a thin white head. Aroma of cherries, and cherry juice. Flavour is the same as the aroma. Flavour is light and a bit watery.

Poured from a bottle. Similar to appearance to a rose wine, except for the pink head. Aroma of cherries, almonds, and wheat. Flavor was more balanced of cherries, almonds, wheat and light sweetness to round out the beer. Overall, if another bottle came my way again I would drink it.

Bottle: pours a pinkish red with a thin white head that quickly disappears, cherry aroma, taste is mildly tart cherries, dry finish, not overly carbonated, pretty decent actually.

BPW #48 Served on tap at Founders Brewing Company. Appearance is a brilliant maraschino cherry red, looks very similar to a jar of cherries. Creamy cherry flavors all the way. A high quality real cherry flavor too. Very nice creamy mouth with a touch of effervesces.

From a bottle poured ruby with a small head. Nice cherry beer flavor with no finish. A little sweet.
