Founders Cerise:
Greetings all and welcome back to the soon to be famous beer review website of the stars.  Today, let’s take a slight detour off the beer highway and move over to the malt beverage lane and review a cherry beer.  Yes, a cherry beer and no, not a sweet one.  I’ll wait while all y’all pick your jaws off the floor.  Done?  Good, let’s continue.  The brew, Founders Cerise is made with cheery puree and it has that nice tart natural cherry taste to it.  The brew pours well with a ruby red coloration and a minimal dull white head and no real mention of carbonation.  There is a nose of sour cherries and reminds me of a good cherry pie in it’s smell.  The taste is very uniform with a tart cherry flavor that has a nice subtle alcoholic quality to it and it all seems to vanish fairly quickly in a dry/bitter aftertaste.  A nice beer, er malt beverage and here’s to hoping to this gaining a wider distribution.  This would make a a great reduction sauce for vanilla ice cream or chocolate cake or anything else humans consume that is sweet.
