Much less tastier than it should be.

I find the cherry flavor overwhelms the rest of the beer. I usually prefer fruity notes to be accents only, rather than lead flavors.

It's been a while, but I'm gonna go ahead and say that this beer is pretty decent for what it is. A good pick for the non-beer drinker, especially the female ones. You could do worse. Maybe mediocre, but it's still a step above BMC and skunk Imports like Heineken. Way better than Sam Adams Cranberry Lambic, that's for sure. Special beers like this should at least give the brewery's mainstay a run for its money. Not sure this one acheives that. I might still reach for one; but if there's a Boston Lager close by, I might reach for SA's flagship brew instead.

Pours a golden amber color with a strong white head. Beer is notably clear.

Aroma is of marichino cherries, sweet malt, and a very light hop.

Strong cherry flavor, and a strong grainy wheat as well as caramel.

Mouthfeel is medium bodied with low carbonation.

Drinkability is fairly low. Low alcohol makes for easy consumption, but strong cherry flavor becomes taxing.
