After a day of pouring Casey beers yesterday at Hill Farmstead, I had to open this one up. Bottled in July of 2015, acquired in a trade last Fall, sat upright in the fridge for about 6 months and still the yeast was settled but not very solid, started moving around as soon as I moved the bottle.
A - Good cork pop but not vibrant. Formed a 2 finger solid white creamy head on the pour then faded fast. It’s a gorgeous blood-red appearance, nice translucency.
S - Has a tinge of fecal aroma, tree-bark earthy aroma with a sharp acidity.
T - Cherry throughout, like holding nothing back cherry. Has a candy syrup flavor from how sweet it is. There is some vinegar here, fecally sulphur flavors, loads of earthy funk and a good lemon zest and lime juice flavor as well. There really is a ton of cherry in this beer but the flavor is a far departure from cherry lambic but could be related similarly to Cherry Flora from HF.
M - Good mouthfeel, thin, juicy, low carb
O - Nice balanced beer for sure. I wish it was slightly less acidic but I do get what Troy was going for here.

Bottle at Casey Extended Family kegger. 8/2014 batch. Milky pink appearance with a nice, foamy white head. Aroma has some funk, cherries, grass, and a hint of cheese. Yeasty. Funkier than expected. Too acidic for my taste but good nonetheless. Held up well.

Bottle shared during the first Late Nite session of RBWG 2015. Pours Hazy pink with a creamy white head. Lovely poopy aroma with notes of berries, sweat. Light to medium sweet flavor with crisp, refreshing dry cherry notes, subtle lemony acidity. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Cleansing finish, more sturdy acidity, lemon, dry cherry. Very good.
