keepersj12 (774), Sicklerville, New Jersey, USA Jun 8, 2009 Very light and refreshing. Pours almost red with a thin head. Aroma is cherries. flavor is tart with a hint of cherries, more subtle than the aroma would indicate. Crisp and clean finish. Great for those hot days. nimbleprop (819), SouthWest, Washington, Washington DC, USA May 19, 2009 Sampled at Max’s American Beer Fest. Pours a transparent ruby red with a whispy head. Musty aroma, slight fruit. Flavor tastes like cherry extract, slightly metallic, buttery with some sweet tarts. Buttery on the tongue, medium bodied. This wasn’t great. mwelsh13 (483), Maryland, USA Apr 21, 2009 12oz pours medium ruby color with an aggressive carbonation. Sweet aroma and body but no discernible cherry. Medium body with alot of caramel. Drying effect at the swallow. Not bad. tsarman (794), Northern, New Jersey, USA Jun 5, 2005 Served somewhat warm, though I don?t know if that was the intention. Beautiful reddish brown. Very cherry but it was more mellow than most. A solid beer. BigSkyman007 (194), USA Sep 11, 2004 Amazing Cherry beer. Has a wonderful reddish color with a nice cherry aroma. Very smooth, some foamy head, cherry flavor was balanced just right, not artificial(like Cherry Wheat) or overpowering, and had a nice sweetness that lingered on the tongue. Excellent beer! scraff (1921), Baltimore, Maryland, USA Jun 11, 2003 Reminds me a bit of New Glarus Red (which is AWESOME) As stated by guzzler, definite styling of a Belgian Kriek, but more taste and palate of a very good Cherry Wheat. Crisp, slightly tart, dry, and refreshing. A good summer beer without a doubt. PS - 300 lbs of Michigan cherries were used in the brewing process. You can certainly tell. That's a good thing! :-) Enjoy. guzzler67 (1272), Hanover, Maryland, USA Jun 6, 2003 Styled somewhat like a Belgian kriek, however there was more emphasis on the wheat and less (it seemed) on the yeast strain. As the name would imply, there was plenty of cherries in the nose and in the taste. Reddish, copper appearance. Nicely balanced. Smoothe finish. obxdude10 (1546), Pottstown, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 16, 2002 Very fruity aroma, the cherries are very overpowering, didn’t keep much of a head, very crisp & clean
