I had high hopes but was let down. I am a big fan of Sam Adams Cherry Wheat, so I hoped for some parallels....not so much. Initial sip was not bad but not great, after taste was too strong, too bitter. Wont ever drink this one again.

Cloudy pinkish hue, large head that stays around. Fruit and sour no alcohol smell. Filling mouth feel, smooth like water, little carbonation. Taste is clean crisp, nice slight sour cherry.

12oz bottle into a pint glass. NO freshness dating.

Kind of a pinkish orange body here. Small white head quickly shrinks to a ring and faint covering. A trace of lacing.

Faint cherry aroma.

On tasting, sweet and lightly tart. Clean, smooth. Light cherry flavor is never medicinal or artificial tasting. Not bad at all

Mouth medium, finish fruity.

Overall, decent enough beer. Clean, refreshing, and well brewed.

My 6pk were all gushers.
I lost most of it in the sink.
I don't know if they were old, contaminated, or if a secondary fermentation happened.
It smelled like cherries, with a faint tart cherry taste.
Not my cup O' beer.

The black cherry is very subtle in this easy drinking cream ale.

Derailed pours a darkish reddish copper color, with a huge fizzy, long lasting head. Big natural cherry aroma. Flavor is sweet, with a big fresh cherry flavor, slightly tart,. Good body and feel. Overall, pretty good beer, very sweet.

Pinkish gold color. Finger head that dissipates to thin head. Nose of apple & tart cherry. Tastes more like a sour or a fruit beer than APA; tart cherry soda with a bit of malt grain and the slightest hint of Dr Pepper. Light body.
