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.

Bottle. Poured red tinged amber with foamy white head that dissipated rapidly. Aroma of citrus and cherries. Thin flavour, with more cherries and not much else. Bitter cherry finish. I can’t rave about this, nor damn it either.

Bottle. Pours a honey golden color with a small white head. The aroma is a very strong cherry and light honey. Decent lacing on the glass. The taste is a very sweet cherry with a bitter finish. Too sweet for me but still a decent fruit beer.

Bottle: Pours a clear, dark golden color with a medium white head. Nose is very fruity with sweet cherry pie scents. Yum!!! Up front the taste is wheaty and earthy with light cherry tones. Then the floral and dry trailer comes through with a vengence. Herbal and reminiscent of dandelions. In sum, it smells great and drinks poorly.

Bottle. Strong artificial tart red cherry aroma - really covers up any other aroma. Golden yellow with moderate head. Slightly sweet artificial cherry flavor - like Fruity Pebbles, cherry Laffy Taffy or numerous other cheap cherry candies This is really one of the first SA brews I’ve been disappointed in. Maybe the mix of honey and cherry comes across to me as artificial, I don’t know.

Bottle. Pour is a golden color with a lot of fizzy little bubbles rising up and forming a fairly thin head. Aromas are very cherry... but a tart, pie cherry. Promises to be a bit sour if I can believe my nose. Flavor is smooth and mostly enjoyable. From what I had read I expected a cough syrup-like artificial cherry bomb, but I think the cherry blends nicely with the malt. Maybe it’s because this one sat in the fridge for a few months before I got around to it... Mouthfeel and flavor both come off a little creamy, which blends nicely with the cherries and malt.

12 oz bottle. Pours reddish orange with a light reddish coloured off-white head. Aroma is sticky sweet cherries and almonds. Flavour is rather dry cherries. Very soft mouthfeel, malty/wheaty texture. Dry and slight artificial finish. This beer has some ups and downs, it both smells good and bad and tastes good and bad.

Pour is an orange-red with a small white head. Aroma is deffinatly a strong cherry. Makes me wonder if it is artificial since it is such a strong smell but im giving it the benefit of the doubt. Flavor is bit weaker but if you have had cherry soda this is about the same. Lots of cherry,no wheat,hops or malts. Just ok but not too fruity for a fruit beer. My g/f gave me a six of this for my b-day. Good girl!

A golden beer with a thin white head. A pleasant restrained cherry aroma, more like maraschino. In mouth, a rather perfumey brew, with an astringent chemical side, which is sustained, making this a bit unpleasant.

Nice strong aroma of fresh cherries. The color was amber with a decent off-white head. The cherry flavor was overpowering, with no taste of hops or grains. It was a little yeasty in the finish. A nice example of a fruit beer, but is a little too much for my taste.
