Crisp and fruity with a hint of honey, this ale brewed with Michigan cherries is light on the palate, yet full of surprising depth and flavor. The cherries contribute a tart fruit character, while a touch of honey adds a slight sweetness.

12oz bottle from a Wegman’s in Buffalo, NY. A hazy orange pour with a thin white head; aroma of ground almonds; cherry bakewell tart aroma - that’s ground almonds and sweet cherries; and a sweet cherry finish. DRinkable, but not what I was expecting.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance had a pale amber body, small white head, thin lacing sliding quickly into the body.
The smell had some cherries up front, faint malt, slight wheat and yeast in the background more so as the beer warms.
The taste was sweet and tart at different times through the cherries, wheat plays a slight part, yeast comes out to help balance.
The palate was about a light to medium, sessionable, sweet aftertaste and finish.
Overall, this is a good beer to get those malt drinkers over to the beer side, yet I would still have it again.

12oz bottle picked up at the state store
Clear golden with a medium sized white head and good lacing. Aroma of cherry soda/syrup and wheat. Flavors of cherries, plastic, straw with some bitter herbal in the finish
OK, not my thing though

Bottle. A- Cherry, spices, cough drops. A- Copper color, hazy liquid, minimal head. T- Sweet malts, mild cherry tones, cough syrup tones. P- Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation, spiced cherry finish. O- Not bad, but not great. Reminds me more of cough medicine than beer. I was felt quite unsatisfied.

Enjoyed at the Yard House at Red Rock Resort in Las Vegas. Pours a slight hazy golden-amber colour with a small white head. Sweet cherry extract aromas with some light wheat, kind of Amaretto-like. The cherries are there in the taste, but not as syrupy as expected. Well-blended with the grain. Refreshing, but a little too sweet for my likings. Still worth trying, but can only have one per session.

Draft sampled at Federal House, Annapolis. Pours slightly hazy golden with a white head. Aroma of massive cherry, nothing else can get past it. Flavour is moderate sweet and light moderate bitter, still overwhelmed by the cherries with perhaps a little caramel behind. Light bodied with light carbonation.

24.06.2013, tap @ Doyle’s Cafe, Boston:
Small creamy shortlasting head. Aroma is lots of fresh cherries, wheat, sugar, hay, caramel. Taste is slightly fruity, wheat, cherries, hay, grass, yeast. Little bitterness, slightly dry mouthfeel. Nice one, not artificial like they often are.
