pours out a blood tinged golden colour, with a qiuckly fading fizzy head. pretty active carbonation...there is an audible snap crackle pop as the bubbles surface from the depths of the pilsener glass. the aroma is all cherries...i repeat...all cherries...not unpleasant. what is unpleasant is the taste of this beverage. you can detect the taste of real cherries, which is nice, but then there is an obnoxious artificial sweetener taste that rides a oil slick mouthfeel into malt beverage hell. yuck. a bad beer.

but this beverage did male for a nice little breakfast juice as i was sorting out my haul from zap and bighuge. thirsty work that beer sorting is!

thanks to zap for this sample.

This is one for the girls....artificial tasting..syruppy sweet....slick....nose is very sweet smelling...body is thin and watery....this needs more complexity...almost like drinking a shirley temple...

this in no-way compares to New Glarus's Belgian Red....It's not like it's undrinkable, but I wouldn't want more than this one...

I would not buy it again...not sure if it's even worth trying...maybe just to see for yourself I guess..

This beer is a hazy ruby tinged copper color. Very small white head. Lacing is quite sparse. This beer smells of cherry extract. That's it. Overpowering. The taste is syrupy and artificial. Cherry extract all the way. And that's a shame cuz they grow some sweet cherries up in Door County (Green Bay area) Wisconsin. Just not a good representation of a Wisconsin Cherry beer. A polar opposite of New Glarus' Belgian Red.

Pinkish orange with a well-kept white froth.
Sour cherry nose with musty and mineral notes. Not hideous, but not all that attractive.
Vacant and vapid in the mouth. Quite literally, the only thing I taste is the carbonated water with, perhaps, a ghost of cherry tartness. I'd write more, but there isn't anything else to discuss. Nothing even close to malt or hops to be found, and not even any of that typical Malternative heavy sweetness. Is this even alcoholic?
Watery, fizzy and bombastically bland.
It is drinkable, but not as beer.
