Been wanting to taste this for a while, but I couldn't bring myself to spend the $2 more than I usually spend for a beer, I was hoping somebody would give me one, but NO! So I bit the bullet and bought the alexander farm. Aroma is your typical rodie. Pour is lighter maroon. Taste is so good, its so civilized and has just the right amount of tartness. Its so yummy. Can't even tell there is alky in this yet I know it is a flemmy. Yes, these flemmy brews are quite nice and this is a prime example of doing it right. I'm glad we have a separate style for flemmish sours, they certainly don't belong, or taste anything like, any other sour or tart beer, wild or not. This stuff is the beez neez. Big thanks alexander. Really good overall beer tasting experience. Salaciously titillating.

Bottle from Beyond Beer, 5.6%. Ruby red with a short-lived head. Nose is very natural cherry, deep and intense. The flavor is dry, complex, dark red cherry flavor with hints of caramel. Great body, a bit of natural sourness, clean hop bitterness with a hint of woodiness. Very nice layered complexity. A really excellent, natural cherry experience.

Four pack from Appalachian. I can't make out these crazy bottling codes. Duvel glass @home. Syrupy, maroon pour, opaque, but filtered. Pretty pink head. Smells of cherry cordial, oxidized port wine, breakfast cereal, savory cooked veggies. Rich port upfront, acidic, earthy & slightly medicinal cherries in the middle, malic acid, Spite, browned grease & vinegar on the finish. Some chalky yeasties & their accompanying flavors as the second pour arrives. Taste is more murky than complex. Well carbonated, but rich, sticky & not particularly boozy. I think I enjoy(ed) regular Rodenbach more. It's been a while though.

Bottle from Bine & Vine. Pours dark cherry with a moderate foamy beige head. Aroma of slightly musty wood and tart fruits of the non-dark sort. Med body at least. Flavor starts with mildly sweetish cooking cherries, develops musty wood, and finishes cherry tart/sweet with emphasis on the tart. Refreshing. I could drink this all day.
