I had a cherry beer from Steamworks in Vancouver years ago. It was sour and had a very high alcohol percentage, but still tasted like a beer.

They served it in wine glasses though. I'd love to drink it again.

we're gonna have to talk about this.



first of all, i love the colors of the can. a million years ago i saw a green/orange pair of pumas in a store on south street (when south street was cool *flips hair dismissively*) and i figured i'd see them again someday so i didn't buy them. long story short, i'm at least half dead now and i've never seen those sneakers anywhere else ever and i think about them almost every day.

but i digress.

about this beer, it's complicated.

first of all, it's a fruit-added beer. i thought it was just one of those beers where they're all like "these hops taste like grapefruit and mango!", not a beer with stuff added, which i don't normally go for.

i guess it helps that they printed a long mea culpa on each can, admitting to their weird mistake and trying to lessen the blow by telling us that it's real fruit and not some syrupy artificial additive.

anyway, it pours bright, opaque lemon yellow with a snow white lumpy head. it looks like it has tons of little bits of stuff in it but you don't feel it in the mouthfeel* at all.

it's the sweetest smelling beer i've encountered since bell's two hearted ale. i almost expect to see "smuckers" on the label.

now it's better than some cloying syrupy orange beer. i don't want anyone to think i'm taking points off for that. so don't get me wrong, it turns out it's a real beer. they definitely added fruit correctly if you're gonna add fruit. but there's something overly foamy about this beer. maybe it's just because i just drank the super-awesome-in-every-way troeg's field study, but this just overwhelms the mouth with foam by comparison. it's not as clean an experience and it's definitely not as crisp (although, tbf, few beers are).

it's fine. if i'm at a party and someone offers me one i will happily accept but i probably won't buy this again unless i'm having someone over that i think would particularly enjoy it or something.




*legit beersnob term

let me revisit here for a sec. i was harsh on this beer.

so for the sake of truth, justice, and the american way, let me make sure i take back some of the things i said. this is a real real good beer.

it's probably 8.7 s2tp's
