This beer is so damn refreshing. It's a chamomile tea beer, sweetened with cherries. So good.
Fun fact: Ale Industries does 10$ growler fills of this bad boy!

This is a very pink beer with an almost light orange tint, made with tea and cherries. Very light and almost elegant with good balance and a nice light to medium carbonation. Very refreshing and drinkable. One of those perfect summer beers and just about everyone will find drinkable.

This beer was very light on the palate. The cherry is just enough will out being overpowering or cough syrup like. It's would be an easy drink on a summer day.

On tap at Newhall Refinery in Newhall, CA.
Pours a murky light orange with a foamy beige head that settles to wisps of film on top of the beer. Small streaks of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of grain, cherry juice, and grape jelly aromas. Taste is much the same with sweet cherry juice and white grape juice flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of earth bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is an average beer that is drinkable, but it tastes more like juice than beer.
Serving type: on tap.

opaque and foggy with a gold hue. Smells of fermented tropical fruit, reminiscent of Passion orange guava juice. Cherry flavor up front with a sweet and sour candy finish. Refreshing drink on a warm Summer afternoon. We really haven't had many fruit beers like this before, and that is a good thing.

On-tap, snifter.
A: Pours a cloudy dark iced-tea color with a soft and fuzzy white head that faded to a lasting collar. Streaks of thick lace left down the glass.
S: Sweet and perfumey with a nice floral tea and hibiscus quality mixed with a touch of strawberry, cherry, and honey sweetness. Not cloying at all. Very subtle overall.
T: Tons of honey and sweet cherry juice. Very fruity and sweet but not synthetic or cloying. Flavors of tea are noticeable but you can still tell this is a beer. Green tea with honey in the aftertaste.
Flavors are exceptionally smooth. Tastes like cherry green or white tea with a light Belgian pale ale or similar. Very smooth and rich. The fruit is perfume-like with flavors of strawberry cream as well as cherries. Fruit is also floral, similar to hibiscus, but without the tannins. Doughy yeast mixed in as well.
M: Very creamy with just the right amount of sweetness. Very delicate with fluffy and soft carbonation. So easy and smooth to drink. Medium body, lightly greasy.
O: This is crazy good. I wouldn't of thought I would have liked it, but I've had it on a few occasions and find it very approachable and delicious. Tastes way more to me like strawberry than cherry to me though. Not the worlds most amazing beer, but if rating to style, this is near the top of its game.

This is the Golden State of Mind blended with cherries. Pours a rosé pinkish-gold in the glass. The aroma is sweetly cherry, lots of summer berries come across. Delicate and light, it’s an easy sipper. Sweet, with the cherry flavoring coming through. It reminded me of a low ABV Soft Parade more than anything.
