From the Brewery-"A once a year ale celebrating our 11th anniversary....800 pounds of Door County Cherries married with a nice amber ale...rare and special".
I see a few rated the 10th anniversary cherry but it has been retired so I will start a new one for the 11th anniversary..
Looks like tomatoe juice when you pour it into the glass...nose is a slight let down...acidic with only a slight cherry impression.
Fortunately the taste is much better...I'm not a brewer but I imagine using a shitload of cherries and turning out a drnkable beer is a challenge...the amber ale blends with the cherries nicely..There also seems to be a nice "spice" element to it that blends nicely...It took me awhile to get it but I'm pretty sure it is a strong cinnamon/brown sugar taste...cherries offer more of a sweeter flavor than a tartness but it's not like drinking pie filling...it's about right..
Low carbonation...lighter side of medium bodied...
Decent effort and a nice change-up for the fall..
