Redd's Wicked Black Cherry (71cl, 8%)

An 8% ABV flavored ale in a 24oz single-serve can, brewed with bold black cherry flavor on a malt base. Produced by Molson Coors Beverage Company in Wisconsin, it uses a fermented malt base of barley malt, corn syrup (dextrose), hop extract and yeast, then is blended with natural black cherry flavoring, citric acid, malic acid and caramel color. Sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate are added as preservatives. It is classified as a flavored ale, not a cider, and is not gluten-free. The nose carries pronounced black cherry with candy-like sweetness over a faint malt undertone. The entry is sweet and fruit-forward, moving through tart cherry and crisp apple-like brightness, with a light malty aftertaste and gentle alcohol warmth. The finish is clean and crisp, with lingering cherry sweetness and a mild warmth that dissipates quickly.
