Pours a pretty pink color with an off-white head. I expected a cherry and wheat aroma/flavor, but what I got was a very bland beer with barely a whiff of cherry aroma and maaaaybe a hint of cherry flavor. No off flavors, and in fact very little flavor at all. Kind of weird. I did not see the point in drinking a full 12 oz of this and poured out the last few ounces.

Cask at Bull's Head in Lititz. If it wasn't for some of the other reviews I would never have come up with what this beer tastes like. I totally agree with cherry yogurt. And to quote from another review, that's the best that can be said about this beer. If there was a head I must have blinked and missed it. While there was a cherry taste I found no hint of that in the smell. In fact I could not discern any particular aroma at all. Not a bad beer but nothing special either.

Poured from the can into a wheat ale glass.
Talk and lanky body that comes off almost like a light marzen/doppelbock in color. Deep reddish brown, but leans towards more of a clay like red, with some orange highlights. Fine carbonation but mostly opaque, and a good sized reaching three fingers off pink to khaki like colored head. Swiss cheese retention and clingy lace round out the top with a good cap, making for one neat looking wheat ale. Very nice and unique looking brew.
Very spicy nose surprisingly along with the expected fruit. Slightly wet sensing, but a peppery and almost clove like phenol mixing in with a touch of warm cherry. No hinting sweetness of sugars or syrup rush is present which makes for a more pleasant character. Hints almost tangy acidic actually.
Palate is quite unexpected. There's a bit of richness to the body here, that is full and almost thick malted, with a good chewy density. Mid palate is fruity but the big tone isn't so much cherry as the hop content. Spiced herb and bitter hop help to cut through a thick cherry body for nice warming flavor. Aftertaste really exposes a black pepper and cherry like finish and very lingering bitterness.
Very unexpected fruit ale, as this is far more hoppy than one is to believe. It masks a bit too much of the cherry flavors, making for an interesting brew, but will probably leave many fruit beer fans a bit disappointed.

Poured from a 12 oz. can. Has a dark pink/violet color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of wheat, light cherries. Taste is wheat, tart, mild cherries in the background. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a decent beer, but I was expecting a bit more cherry in the aroma and flavor.

Red body with a fizzy light pink head that leaves quickly. Aroma is very faint with some traces of wheat. Cherries come through in the flavor adding hints of sweetness and tartness, mellowed out by the grainy wheat flavor. Feel is very fizzy and light. Overall a decent take on a fruited wheat.

No beer should ever, ever take twenty minutes (no exaggeration) to calm down and get me my pint. I watched. Gillys had to literally carb it up because it arrived with no carb. I mean I really enjoyed my bottle of creator and destroyer but what the hell. Tastes alright.
