Barrel-aged American sour ale fermented with cherries and almonds.
Montmaretto was was aged in neutral wine barrels where it undergoes a secondary fermentation with almond and a pound per gallon of cherries. The barrels were then blended until the perfect balance was struck.

Bottle. A- Tart, mild funk. A- Peach color, cloudy liquid, white head. T- Sour, tart, mild cherry, slightly acidic. P- Light body, average texture, effervescent carbonation, tart finish. O- Finally my first WW beer! Have to say I wasn't terribly impressed but this wasn't one of their popular beers either, so I'll take that into consideration. It was only not too fresh but not that old either. Some cherry but no almond. Lots of tart and sourness. Seemed one dimensional but still good.

Almond color. Nice combination of the sour flavor with sweetness from cherry and almond to mellow it out.

Draft at Craft Brewed. Pours a clearish, bright wine-colored hue with a small bit of foam that lingers. Tart cherry, blackberry, plum, oak, vanilla and faint cinnamon. Crisp, big tart cherry juice on the palate. Slightly vinous. Really nice pinot noir notes as it warms. Really enjoyed this one. --- Beer merged from original tick of Wicked Weed Montmaretto (Canvas Series) on 19 Oct 2017 at 21:40 - Score: 9.

500mL bottle, pours a hazy amber orange with a tiny white head. Aroma brings out loads of brett, tart cherries, and medium acidity. Flavour is loaded with brett, tart cherries and moderate acidity. Moderately complex, but quite enamel-stripping. Very good.

Pre-AB bottle sample during the "Local Love 02" tasting on 05/05/2017. The beer is a hazy dark amber color with a medium boned white head that dissipates quickly to a sparse outer ring. Aroma of oak, marzipan and yeast. Medium body with flavors of vinous oak, cherry, yeast and subtle almond. The finish is moderately sour with an oaky cherry aftertaste. Pretty good overall.
