Trafalgar Cherry Ale

Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 4 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 4

As with most (if not all) Trafalgar products, I knew this was a mistake the moment it was given to me. The cherry character here is minimal at best. A rusty copper coloured pour with no head. vomit and metal make up the aroma. Flavour is acidic

The beer poured a translucent amber colour with a very thin white ring for a head. The aroma is stale grass, very weak floral hops, and an extremely weak whiff of cherry. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied, with medium carbonation. Flavour is mainly malt and hops, with a drying bitter finish.

First beer reviewed in Canada since my trip to Tennessee. Not sure if Phil got a bad one of this one, but mine seems pretty decent. Of course, being from Trafalgar (I am never expecting much), but they seem to get better and better every year (and recently, they are getting to be above average). Alright, so this one pours a golden colour with with pink hue to it, almost being amber. Decent head that stays a while and leaves a bit of lace. Bomber brown bottle with the side label ripped saying, OC 10 (best before October 2010). Very light aromas of kriek-like sourness, but light - I say. Becomes a bit hazy at last pour. Mild cherry taste with their usual grain kicking-in with the cereal malt staying in the aftertaste. Just like their regular ales, but with a little splash of cherries. I do not mind this one at all.

Bottle: Poured a light clear reddish color ale with an average size foamy head with good retention. Aroma of grainy malt with light cherry syrup notes. Taste is a incredible mess with gross notes of cherry syrup with unrefined grain which clashes with the cherry notes. Body is quite light with OK carbonation. Incredibly bad and one of the worst from a brewer that you seek a career change.

Bomber from the Lik-Bo: Pours a pale ale with a pink tint in the glass. No cap to speak of, left very little lace on the glass. Faint nose...bit of boiled cereals, light grassy tones some berry notes. Thin mouth feel. Weak malt presence in front, some light bittering, light berry fruit adds minimal tartness, fast watery uneventful finish. Uninspired fast summer knock-off, no off tastes but just thin watery and pointless. Disappointing.
