Oct 15, 2009 Pours a dark brown-red with a hint of white head. Aromas of sour red cherries, vanilla, and green apple. Flavours of semi-sweet cherries, a healthy dose of buttery oak, and chocolate caramel. There is a delightful balance of sweet and sour flavours here that complement each other admirably. If I had not been told that this was a blend I would have never guessed - interesting and very enjoyable.

Oct 11, 2009 This is pretty bad. Light acidic aroma. Flavor of stomach acid, oak, and cherry. I don’t mind acid, but there is something off about this. The oak is ok, but the cherry is off as well, very medicinal. I wonder if something went wrong with the bottle. will rerate when i get the chance.

Oct 8, 2009 Bottle. Poured a cherry juice-red color with a pinkish head. Smelled of cereal grains and cherry. Light to medium bodied with a hint of acidity at the end. I tasted distinct cherry, some oak, a hint of red wine, and dark malts. So so, but unfortunately reminded me a bit of Sam Adams Cherry Wheat in that the cherry was a bit too medicine-like.

Sep 26, 2009 Skyview Tasting 2.5. Thanks to BDR for carting this back for me. Dark brown color with no head. Dark sugary aroma with a bit of tartness. A solid tartness in the flavor, but fairly light on the cherry. A bit of sugar. Malt stays hidden.

Sep 26, 2009 Pours a deep reddish brown with a light off whilte head. Aroma of plum and cherry. A slightly sour touch along with the bitter cherry flavor. Hints of a brown ale in the backround, almost separate in flavor as opposed to blending. Finish kind of dissapates to just a light sweetness.
