Seems more like the actual flower than cherries like some people do. Orange cloudy with ok head and lacing. Finishes a little sour. Ok. On tap at DC Beer Festival.

Served on draft at the brewpub. Pours a clear red color with a medium sized white head. Fair head retention. Aroma of grain, toasted notes and cherries. The taste is tart cherry pie filling, grain, caramel and faint hops. Medium bodied, refreshing, and I enjoyed it quite a bit.

A burgundy red ale witha thin superlacing light pinkish head. In aroma, light mixture of cherries and sugar beet, light wheat, very plain. In mouth, a sweet malt with light solventy notes, weird chemical sweetness, like cheap cherry juice, corn, rather cloying. On tap at Shirlington location, April 12 2011.

Draft at Shirlington location. Arrived at table, unknown how long since pour as head was still noticeable, but quite small. Light clear (translucent) red color. Aroma is a sweet, cherry one, with touches of malts, caramel, and a tinge of citrus. Flavor is certainly cherries, but a bit more subtle than I had expected.

Light and bright brown, thin white head, moderate lacing. Aroma of cherry soda. Taste has a bitter hop background, with sweet fruit overlay. Taste likes a bad beer with cherry syrup added. There was no drain nearby, so I just left it on the bar.
