Draft. Snifter. Looks like cranberry juice. Thick white foam for head. Left solid lace. Medium carbonation. Nose is soft sour cherry. Taste is a sweet then sour cherry. A good after dinner beer with plenty of sweetness.

On tap at the brewpub. Poured a clear ruby red with a thin white head that dissipated completely. Aroma was full of fresh cherries that were mainly sweet but there was a bit of a tart bite. Flavor was similar with juicy sweet cherries throughout with a bit of tartness that grew. Didn’t pick up much brett at all.

From tap at the brewpub. Pours hazy dark red with a small pink head. Aroma is dense cherry and slight almondish. Cherry and almondish flavoured. Citric and sweet. Fruity and lingering finish.

Draught pint at the brewpub, with Muzzlehatch on 11/4/05. Pours a hazy, fiery orange and amber-auburn colored beer, with a small, fairly well-retained off-white head that recedes to cover fairly rapidly, with light lacing. Aroma has lightly tart cherry pie, a lemon candy-like note and a smooth, drying wheat note on the end. Flavor shows lightly acidic cherries balanced by light honey and a bit of sweet breadiness. Yeast is rather thick, while the wild yeast adds a clean, if rather subdued tartness. Wheat gives a light chewiness to the texture, but the mouthfeel might be a little bit too easygoing on the end, being a draught beer. Some peaches, cherries and plums, with a hint of woody-like flavor and more yeast. No alcohol apparency. Rather subdued overall. I wasnt paying too much attention to the beer for the first two-thirds of it and looked up to see it almost gone. By that point, I hadnt come away with much other than the fact that I was drinking some cherry beer infused with small amounts of brett. Perhaps just a little too simple in its flavors, with too weak a mouthfeel.
