It pours amber – brown with weak tan head. The aroma is fruity with tart fruit skin notes and cherry – cranberry sweetness. The taste begins both sweet and mildly tart with cherry and cranberry type notes. By midway it may be possible to notice the malty “beer” note struggling to be noticed amid the fruitiness. I do notice it but for an all too brief spell. It ends with the modest fruity tartness drying it out some.

Bottle that i cant seem to take off display. Pours an amber body with a yellow head. Sweet cherry tart and floral fruity character. Sweet and enjoyable brew.

This one has been a sleeper for me and I didn’t even know it. Overall I have enjoyed it. Try aging this. A two year old bottle is just awesome. Some sourness, great fruit flavor and pleasant to drink. Some almost brettyness to it.

Who sneaked into the brewery and made this? The beer fails in flavor and marketing. Looking at the bottle, I’m not sure why I bought one. Then, once I tasted this, I was sure of my mistake. There is cherry flavor in this, but it is as if someone floated a couple cherry lifesavers in it. The rest tasted like sour apple and dissolved metal.

Has a descent cloudy brown color. Smells mostly of malts and cherries. Taste is basically the same. Full of malts and cherries. Has a little bit of a bitter aftertaste. Not too bad but not that great either.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a hazy amber with a foamy, light tan head. The nose is sweet malt, a little fruity, some vegetals, cherries, and a little sourness. Medium-high carbonation with a light mouthfeel. First taste is of lightly tart cherries with a light malt background. Unfortunately, it all ends there. Very one dimensional. There is a short, clean finish. Sometimes I wish a beer came with instructions on the brewers intent. I can’t think of any occasion where I would drink this. Not terrible mind you, but just not enough "beer" attitude or dynamic enough to be very creative.

Deep rich amber color. Aroma is of rust and metal. Flavor is super tart, metallic and vegetable like. I have liked nearly everything I have had from Smuttynose, but this is just awful.

12oz bottle. Medium brown color, with a hint of redness. Creamy light tan head with a touch of pink. Aroma of sweet toasted malt, some fruit juice. Very sour flavor. some sweet malts and lots of tart juice. Not too natural. Don’t know of too many people that are gonna try this beer.
