Nov 5, 2004 This brew is really a masterpiece. What an intense flavor, pours cherry red, transparent, with a tall white/pink head that leaves thick lacing on the glass the whole way down. Tons of sweet cherry in the aroma and flavor, slightly tart, but a great sweet flavor almost accented with mollasses. This brew really reminded me of the aroma of those Soho cherry sodas. Nice tartness that was balanced out by the malt sweetness. EPIC!

Dec 25, 2002 Updated: Apr 17, 2004Utterly amazing! I had searched for this beer for ages, and was excited to visit Chicago just because I knew I'd finally be able to get my hands on it. I was not to be disappointed when I tasted it. First, there's wax over the bottlecap, which is a classy touch. The beer is world class. Tastes as though a barrelful of cherries is in each bottle - the brewery must have spared no expense. Sweet like cherry pie, yet with tartness. Delectably delicious.

Oct 28, 2006 750. Pours cloudy brown with a thick, bubbly tan head that falls away to nothing pretty quickly. Super-intense cherry essences all over the nose and palate. Creamy, sticky, almost-thick body with nearly-fizzy carbonation. Deeply intense cherry flavor. Good stuff, fairly refreshing and drinkable given the sugar content and thickness.

Jun 4, 2005 Verre de dégustation (provenant d’une bouteille verte de 750 ml) au Mondial de la Bière 2005 (Montréal, QC). Arôme: Forte odeur de cerise piquante. Apparence: Couleur rouge-ambrée. Aucun col. Faible densité des bulles. Aucune dentelle. Saveur: Superbe goût de cerises très bien balancé. (Pas énormément sucré). Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Corps moyen avec une texture sirupeuse. Arrière goût de cerises mais qui laisse un sensation de craie dans la bouche. Faible effervescence en bouche. (Rating #167)

Jan 11, 2008 Pours a hazy reddish with thin head. Aroma of fresh baked cherry pie, cherry juice, and a little bit of mustiness. The aroma is almost addictive. I couldn’t stop smelling it. The flavor is more sweet natural cherries followed by a little tartness. Perhaps a little more must and some funky wheat, and a touch of spice. Finishes a little tart with some lingering dryness and cherry flavor. Lively carbonation. Medium body. I got to get some more of this. Happy 1000 to me!

Apr 15, 2004 Foggy and dark ruby-red. Sweet, maraschino cherry nose. Soft, mildly carbonated, and sugary texture. I smelled cherries, but I tasted dried apricots all over the place, lingering long in the cheeks. Sweet malts (cake) and a very, very mild bitterness. Hint of tartness ... and even a touch of a cinnamon-like aroma. Overall, somewhat reminiscent of Transatlantique, but New Glarus is sweeter and heavier. Other than being just a little too sweet, it's a really fine beer.

Sep 19, 2007 Updated: Mar 25, 2009Thanks to boboski for opening this brew. Pours a clear blood red with white head. Smells like sugar soaked sweet cherries simmering over the stove. Wow! Awesome aroma. Freshly picked perfectly ripe cherries. The flavor starts with hints of tartness and sour yeast that quickly get consumed by sweet and tart ripe cherries fresh from the cherry tree. It gets sweeter and sweeter and richer and richer before some sourness comes back into play. Great tasting brew. Wow! Thanks Jason.

Oct 2, 2008 Bottle @ Cole’s. Curses: WHY CAN’T I DRINK THIS MORE OFTEN? Hazy strawberry color with little head. Intense cherry pie, compacted jammy aroma. Soft but solid carbonation. Intense jammy body. Pie filling in a glass. Pounds of cherries transformed into beer by goddesses. Kick ass!!! Pleeeeease can I have more? Please?
