Melbourn Brothers Cherry

Brewed by Melbourn Brothers (Samuel Smith)
Style: Lambic - Fruit
Stamford, England

pours dark red with a nice one finger fluffy purple head. aroma is sweet and tart cherries with a little malt. has a medium body with descent lacing and good carbonation. flavor is the same as aroma but stronger. it has a little beer taste to it at the end and in the aftertaste. i think it is good and better than what the percentile is at.

Smells very sweet, almost un-inviting. Cherry and sugar cane. Pours literally the colour of plump ripe cherries, got that spot on. A blast of sugar indeed, almost too much for a beer. I wanted more pure cherry flavour instead. The malt does add a nice backdrop. Light and not to thick in the mouth, despite the sugary profile.

Foam Rangers tasting. Red pour with nice head. Nose of cherry, cherry and cherry. Taste is tart cherry with nice finish and good carbonation.

Very surprizing. I tohught I was good to hate this. Thought it was going to taste like cough syrup. I was wrong. Dark reddish hue with an exceptional cherry aroma. Flavor ais unmatched but acl is low....loses points for that.

Not bad for a cherry lambic. sweet and tart wtih a nice head. Enjoyable at the end of a dinner or night of drinking.

355ml brown bottle. Cherry red pour with a small pink head which recedes quickly. Cherry is up front in the aroma, not detecting much else, though the scent is pleasant, if not a little sweet. Flavour has some immediate cherry fruit sweetness. Finish is slightly sour, acidic with a bit of funkiness lingering. Medium sticky body.

In a tulip glass this actually comes out quite well! Beautiful deep red body with a huge thick lasting head; The nose has slight dry brett like notes, but the cherry juice is quite powerful, but in the tulip glass it is not to much; The body is juicy fat, but an balancing amount of acidity makes it quite pleasant; Medium long pleasant finish, a simple sour bite goes well with the fruit juice cherry sweetness. Not an everyday favorite, but not bad at all.

This dark red beer poured with a thin pink head and a fruity aroma. This is a very sweet cherry drink that tastes a bit like a sweet kriek, but more like carbonated cherry juice. It may not be a great beer, but it is quite refreshing and tasty.
