Sometimes beer is disappointing.


There's a good chance that being inundated with world-class beer in Belgium has made me more critical of other beer. This new cherry beer from Founders was particularly mediocre considering how delicious the rest of their beers are.

Had a pint at Pearly Baker's in Easton, PA. This beer was a disappointment. It came out a clear cherry red with no head. The aroma and flavor are basically of cherry juice while there's also a vaguely nutty malt flavor in the background of the taste. Juicy but flat and not satisfying as a beer.
