I was at the local Whole Foods, saw this and thought, "Hey, a local beer I’ve never heard of." Maybe I didn’t read the bottle well enough, but I didn’t realize this was a Paper City beer and thought it was a new brewery. It poured a nice foamy top over a cloudy orange color. The aroma was spicy with some orangy notes. Fizzy mouthfeel and more orangy and spicy flavors in the taste. A very pronounced sharp hoppy aftertaste. For a "cherry beer" that had a huge cherry on the label, I didn’t smell or taste an iota of cherry anywhere in this, which I found to be very disappointing as I wanted something with a nice big cherry taste. If that’s what you’re looking for, stay away from this one. I felt like I was misled. (frowny face)

Floral perfumey nose, a little dusty. Soft fruit underneath maybe. Golden orange pour, big bubbled thin head. Dusty husky up front, tangy lemon, more chewy husky flavors. Not really any cherry per se but there are some fruity undertones. Somewhat quenching bitterness in the finish. An interesting beer.

22oz bottle from riversideak. Hazy golden with fizzy white head. Super parfume/floral nose. Wheaty, grassy, lemon...a bit of cherry but super burried...but really a sweet floral nose. Sweet lemony wood flavor with some apple and floral sweetness. Some ester bubblegum flavor goin on also. Chewy body.

Bomber, memorable bottle form the Dog Days of Summer bash. Poured a citrus hazy orange drink like color with small white head. Sour candy sweet with hay and yeast. Dry, odd, bitter and a bit sour which was not very enjoyable.
