This bottle has the words "cute" written on it, wait it doesn't...
A: Pours a light copper with a splash of grenadine, 1.5 cm head that slowly bubbles into a condensed froth. Lively lively carbonation and not much lace.
S: The cherry notes are subtle and a blind smell wouldn't reveal this as a cherry beer. I can smell some malty sweetness and the yeast.
T: Up front it's very much a lager with a slightly bready taste that gets shoved out of the way with well cherry juice? It has a very high fructose feel to it, but much more tart finish with a touch of lemon citrus. The finish is also dry, but not hoppy.
M: Just under medium bodied pronounced carbonation on the tongue and can still see the head retaining itself.
D: Middle of the road average drinkability to me, nice hues to it's color, but an underwhelming nose and just par flavor profile.

12 oz bottle best by date July 2010
Purchased in 2010 did not like it back then. Had one bottle left and a have been avoiding it ever sense. Tired of looking at it in the back of the fridge and decided to open it for fun. Poured a dirty amber with a decent off white head. Noticed a few particles of sediment at the bottom of the glass. The intrepid first sip was a surprise, nice mouthfeel and good carbonation. This tasted like sour or lambic with some nice cherry notes. I thought this was going to be a drain pour, but it turned out to be pretty good. I'm not sure what matured, the beer or my taste?
