The Szent András Meggyes Sör (Cherry Beer) is made of fresh fruits, it was one of the first beers made in Hungary out of fresh fruits, rather than extracts. Fruity flavours harmonise perfectly with the malty ones, while sour cherry tastes assure a refreshing experience. The flavours of hop and alcohol stay in the background for the benefit of fruity lightness. It has a slightly cloudy foam. . We used fruit concentrate that is made from fresh, crunchy sour cherries from a local family business, the Szabo & Szabo fruit processing factory, in order to make one of the finest sour cherry beers in Hungary.

0.5l bottle. Red body, reddish white head. Aroma and taste of sour cherry, some grainy maltyness and sweetness in the taste. Not too complex but it’s one of the best fruit beers of Hungary.

Bottled 500ml. -Courtesy of and shared with Marko (thanks!). Clear cherry red coloured, medium sized pink head, vinous cherry nose. Sourish sweet candy cherry taste with slight sour finish. One-dimensional but pretty good.

From Csak a jo sör of course, shared with ogivlado and my gf who "replaced" heavy as the third person in our tasting. Anyway. Poured a clear red body with a creamy pinkish head. Vinuous cherry nose, sweet of course. Blanced sweet cherry taste, some notes of cherry Pez candy, slightly chalky. Not bad at all.

Bottled, thanks Marko! Clear cherry red, small head. Sweet cherry aroma. Sweet and light bodied with crisp bready malt and ripe cherries. Low bitterness. A bit too sweet, but quite interesting.
