Review – Fruitlands from Modern Times

IMG_4866

On the label, Modern Times has three descriptors for their beer.  I would make the following change.  Cherry – Cherry – Tart.  Not quite sour and the Gose part is well buried under an avalanche of cherry.  You would think that I didn’t like the beer.  But I do.  This is a fun fruit beer for cherry lovers which I am one.

The beer is a serious pink/rose color.  The aroma is all about the fruit as is the taste. Let me get a little more detailed.  This is pie cherry.  The kind with that touch of spice to it.  Nutmeg and cinnamon to be more precise. As the beer warms, an almost pie crust taste can be detected at the back.  It may be denting an even bigger cherry taste but it is not hindering it much.

So, the question is, do you like cherries?  If the answer is yes, then buy it.
