This selection from Sprecher is not in their typical glass bottles but in an attractive can that stood out to me on the shelf. I'm not certain what "fire-brewed" is supposed to add to the flavor here. Is there a char that affects the soda's flavor like it's a piece of sirloin steak? Sprecher is of course a Wisconsin company, but I've noted that ingredients of this cherry cola list cherries sourced from Door County as well as raw Wisconsin Honey. I would have thought honey as an ingredient may have been used as a sweetener but they also list glucose syrup.
A cherry scent is present, as expected, though it isn't very strong. I think it has a very unique flavor profile for a cherry cola. I do taste the cola hiding in the back because the cherry takes center stage. I'm also picking up a soft and pleasant sweetness that tastes like it could very well be from the honey. Wirth each sip I'm mentally trying to isolate this and it does remind me of honey. In my opinion, this is a pleasingly unique cherry cola and the sort of craft soda you could splurge on from time to time as a nice treat and not tire of it.
