Super deep, amazingly bright ruby and pure red coloured body, just like cherry juice, very nice - all with a thinnish, pure pink and still somehow almost red tinted head, about a single centimetre tall, with the entire product about 80 per cent opaque - beautiful, for sure. Aroma of bright tart cherry juice, with a lot of pure sweetness and other fruit scents right behind, like cranberries, light pears and apples and a bunch more deep cherries - very nice. Medium to somehow almost Full-bodied; Strong cherry flavours draw in some tart notes and a lot of sweetness and then show some malt and wheat notes in the centre with a deepr, robust profile that all ends in a very nice, super sweet cherry juice flavour - with some tartness as well. Aftertaste is really rich with the malt somehow stronger than the deep cherry juice and sweetness right behind with a light tartness and dry quality, but this really is about the great balance between bunches of malts and tart cherries. Overall, a very nice beer that I would have expected from my home state of Michigan, just not here in Virginia. That said, it was very nice and deeply tart and fruity with a good malt backbone that shows almost to a full-bodied stature with all the tart and sweet fruits, as well. Very nice and well worth trying to find, no matter what time of the year it is, especially if you are from Michigan or cherry country, this beer is very nice! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Total Wine in Manassas, Virginia on 19-May-2020 for US$4,99 sampled at my house here in Washignton on 11-July-2020.
