12 oz bottle at share. Dark golden pour with off-white head. Cough syrup, cherry candy for the aroma. Taste is more of the Ludens cough drops flavors, overly sweet and a bit medicinal.

12oz bottle pours out golden topped with a sand head. Nose is big sweet fake cherry syrup. Taste is more of the big sweet cherry syrup hard seltzer that's about it.

355ml bottle. Pours a hazy orange-gold with a thin, creamy, long lasting, white head that laces. Sweet aroma of maraschino cherry and grainy malt. Sweet flavour of artificial cherry, sugar and grainy malt. Light body with a thin, watery texture and flat carbonation. If this is their perennial favorite, they're in big trouble. Not good.

12 oz bottle from the $50,000 Bar in Montana. I guess this brewery never got the memo that artificial flavors and Red #40 are no longer desirable in "Hand Crafted Ales" in the year 2015. Aroma is total maraschino cherries, nothing else. Pours filtered golden with a small white-pink head. Taste is maraschino cherries with a light golden ale base. Tastes pretty good in a fake soda pop way. If they would’ve used real fruit, it probably wouldn’t have turned out as good.

Draught at the brewery. Pale golden, small head. Aroma of cherry jam and root beer. Dry and crisp, fruity with light, almost hin body. No bitterness,. Root beer meets cheap champagne. Left me puzzled.
