Shared by BDR; thanks Brad. Some yeast aroma. Cherry flavor, and it is tart. Yeast in the flavor as well. Sour cherry flavor, mixed with the moderately sour, balsamic flavors of the underlying beer.

A pale blonde pilsner with a thick frothy white head. In aroma, nice biscuit malt with loads of German hops, light mineral notes, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity malt with light grassy hops, light mineral notes, OK. Can.

Best attribute of this beer is the fact that the ABV is hidden, goes down smoothly. Murky dark amber body with initial high fluffy head. Malty aroma with a hint of mustiness. Taste is more sweet malt, some toffee, but abrupt finish. Not picking up the metallic notes of previous reviewers. Good, but not great.

This is excellent. Unique zing at the end of this. The cherry in this tastes super fresh. Hazy pink pour with OK head and lacing. Tart finish with a finishing zing of sweetness. Bottle shared by Iphonephan.

Very lagerish, not entirely unpleasant, but not memorable either. More cereal grain, than sweet malt. Slight malt finish.
