Though fruit beers are a polarizing style, this is a definite love it or hate it beer. If you like assertive cherry candy flavors, then you'll be all good. If you're not a huge fan of the fruit, especially candies with this flavor, then take a pass. It's cherry-driven for sure, but more of the candied Jolly Rancher and fruit-roll up type of flavor than fresh. Otherwise, it's clean, light and easy to drink.

Minutely hazy light gold color. Fruity aromas and flavors of maraschino cherry and almond cookie with a bright, finely carbonated, fruity light-to-medium body and a sleek, breezy cherry shortcake with whipped cream, wheat wafer, and starfruit finish. A smooth and easy cherry flavored ale.
