Poured from a can. Straw in color with a large foamy head. Smells of fruit and bread. Flavor of cherry soda and a very light lager. Mouth feel is very light and thin. Flavor is not bad but the whole package here is off somewhere.

12oz can. Poured out a clear, golden orange color with a small, white head of foam. It left thin rings of lace on the glass. It smelled of black cherries, caramel and toffee. It tasted like a black cherry soda which isn't bad, but it's not beer-like.

How could I pass up something surly? Well-chilled and hiding behind some other beverages, the can opened easily and a near-white foam with a perfumy fruitiness erupted mildly out. A closer sniff said more purple raspberry than black cherry, though I did detect cherry for sure. Close to four fingers of foam filled the glass but rapidly devolved back to a very pale transparent amber that reminded me of a pear cider; color me surprised by the lack of color. Cherry scent was more prominent in the glass and in the mouth. Fruit was *not* dominant so there wasn't the danger of this starting to taste like cough syrup. The cherry competes with an almost Mexican lager flavoring but then becomes dominant and persists after the swallow. This is not as tart as I was expecting either (but then I suck on lemons, so I may not be the best judge) though that didn't impact its drinkability.

Black Cherry Supreme pours a bright yellow color, with lots of bubbles, not much head. Aroma is big sugary cherry notes. Flavor is light, bright, sweet, with a sugary sweet cherry flavor. Good body and feel. Overall, its a very light beer, with some bigger flavors, almost like a cherry seltzer.

12oz can 2.5 months old only
Very pale yellow, almost fading into cherry juice color. Almost no scent, very faint maraschino. High carbonation, slight sour gummy worms, powdery feel, it all combines very well. Easy to drink, not watery at all, good flavor
I expected this to be shit but ended up loving it. I wish this was year-round and it will never be, it's too niche

12oz can. Can bottom is stamped 'CANNED ON 02/16/21'.
Hazy straw colored body. Brief white head but this does not last. No lacing.
Aroma is candy dark cherry.
Taste is slightly sour and flavored with candy black cherry. The cherry flavor is intense. Quick fade out.
About a medium mouth feel. Dry in the mouth, with some kick to the tongue. Very good carbonation.
Do not think too much about this beer. This beer is made for enjoying with big quaffs. Liquid candy without the medicine.
