Samuel Smiths Organic Cherry Fruit Beer

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

Cherry tart aroma... appearance of a soda pop... lots of cherry flavor... sweet with a tart finish... refreshing

Pours a reddish amber color with a pink head. Tart cherry dominates the flavor with some caramel malts. Flavor is almost all cherry juice. I was hoping for something better than this but there’s nothing that blends with the cherry.

Not looking forward to this (or the Strawberry), as I don’t like organic sam smiths, or melbourn brothers...please may it not be pink...Damn it, it is, clear puce in shade. Fading white head. Aroma of, surprise, surprise, maraschino cherry and some stale wheat. Taste is cloying cotton candy and cherry cough syrup, yak! Light bubbles, non offensive mouthfeel (well, compared to the taste). Not repeatable...

35.5 cl bottle at home. slightly cloudy dark red, thick pink head. strong aroma of not-entirely-fresh cherries and marzipan, strong aroma resembling apricot, reminds me a lot of bols apricot (which i happen to like a lot). flavor is strong cherries, faint citrus, faint vineagra. quite strong acidity hidden behind strong sweetness. the beer itself sort of hidden away somewhere. palate is not mouth-friendly, it tends to be hard to swallow, and tries to get into your nose.

550ml Bottle: Aroma of cherry with a hint of malts. Poured ruby/deep orange in color with a small pink head that disappeared quickly. Clear. Sparkling. Flavor is medium sweet. Tastes of cherry juice. Medium body. Lightly chalky texture. Average carbonation. Sweet, cherry finish. is slightly chalky.

Pours dark reddish copper with a 3 finger gray-pink head that fades quickly to a thick skim and holds. Aroma is cherry, cherry blossom, vanilla, floury bread and a hint of citrus. Flavor is bing cherry, wet leaves, crisp yellow delicious apple, cherry juice, tart citrus notes, cherry jolly rancher and peach pit. Becomes more tart and earthy toward the finish. Palate is medium thickness with a slightly syrupy entry, sort fo chewy middle and dry, slightly acidic finish. Decent brew, but the cherry is a bit overdone and sweet.

Bottle from Bottleworks. Pours a distinct head with very little white bubbly head. An overpowering cheerry aroma with some floral (lavendar?) undertones. Tastes very tart and sour and has very light carbonation. Quite drinkable.

bottle...dark reddish pour with small head and huge carbonation. sweet cherry smell and a large cherry flavor. kind of like a soda water or tonic water drenched with cherry syrup...overly carbonated, yet enjoyable for what its worth
