Our spring seasonal, is inspired by the ancient
Japanese tradition of hanami- cherry blossom viewing - when people throughout Japan gather in parks to contemplate the luminous, ethereal sakura blossoms, while consuming copious amounts of food and beer in a joyous, nationwide picnic.
Made with a generous amount of natural cherry juice, Hanami Ale is crisp and refreshing, a well-balanced, medium-bodied ale offering subtle, tart cherry flavors - the perfect way to bid farewell to winter's icy grip and toast the arrival of spring with your own hanami celebration.

"This beer poured a slightly cloudy reddish color with very little head. It had a mild aroma with a tart cherry flavor. There wasnt much else going on with it. It was a very basic fruit beer."

"Ok, looks like I am the rebel here. This was one of the worst beers I have ever tasted....I couldn't even finish the glass that I had. There was a somewhat nice, faint cherry aroma and the cloudy dark tan coloring was nice. However, the taste really put me off. "

"Hazy reddish amber brew with a faint cap. Fruity sweet and earthy aroma, whiff of lemon. The flavor has a lemony tartness rather than cherry tartness, in my opinion. Drier than I expected, it has a pleasant bitterness and is nicely balanced."

"Poured a ruby amber with slightly off white head. The aroma was of subtle fruit with a touch of grain. The strongest flavor was tart fruit. I must admit this one had to grow on me a bit. "

"Pours a clear reddish brown colour. Small head. it holds down a taste that comes across a little sour, hint of cherry juice, but its more syrupy-caramel tasting then anything else. Aroma is oddball, spice, sugar and grass."
