With apolgies to Cream, what a Strange Brew. 12 oz. bottle. Pours a cloudy amber with a moderate off-white head that faded to a dense film after a few sips and coated the glass with each sip. Light aroma of malt and a few whisps of cherry. The flavor begins with some sweet malt, which is followed up with some fairly tart sour cherry. This is kind of like a cherry lambic hybrid. The tartness of the sour cherries lingers in the aftertaste well beyond the swallow. An interesting experiment, but its probably not something I’d go back to.

Cherries and barley malt on the nose. Rust colored, no head. Tastes of sour cherries. Wheat and light hops are left on the palate. Tasty but lacks balance.

Aroma: hoppy, musty, sour & sweet cherry aroma. Quite nice - sourish.
Flavour: sourish, malty, reminiscent of Timmermans Kriek. Slightly sweet with hoppy aftertaste.
Palate: fizzy, sugary & viscous.
Appearance: slightly foggy pinkish red orange w/ pale, slightly tinted head.

Had this one bottled in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, thanks Slothgar! Pinkish yellow pour, hazy, with a soft and fluffy pinkish head. Nose is of almond, sweet malts, and light grassy hops; tartness of cherries is balanced by sweet and bitterness of orange rind. Light and refreshing finish. Not a bad beer at all.

Decent brew as far as I’m concerned. Looked nice in the glass, nice amber color. Had a cherry spice aroma to it. Taste had some cherry notes on a wave of malt. sour cherry finish.

Cloudy amber with thin head. Light sour aroma and flavor. Cherry comes through but this reminds me mostly of a kriek although I’m not sure they use wild yeasts for this one. Not really sure this one hits the mark. On tap at Andy’s

12 oz bottle. Pours a dark, hazy amber red body. The aroma is fruit - i believe cherries. The taste is def malt with some fruit flavor. The cherries are def not overdone like with Sam Adams Cherry Wheat. Nice cherry beer.
