One of our most complex beers - malt is usually back seat to the fruit in our blonde sour beers, but in this case it’s a prevalent part of the flavor profile. The quick (2 months) rest in bourbon barrels really smoothed out some of the sharper acid flavors to make a well rounded and balanced beer.

Draft at Churchkey. Poured a ruby red color with a small pink head. Aroma was cherry notes. Light red wine, with some woody notes as well. Flavor was slightly sweet cherries, light bourbon notes. Vinous. Decent.

Draft pour sry Chucks, Central District. A beer that just sounds amazing, and impossible to live up to the expectation I’m giving it from the start. While true, its still good. Dark red pour with a foam ring head. Sweet cherry and vanilla like aroma. Very tart up front, juicy cherry and sweet as much as it is tart. Wheat and/or straw like follow, with wine notes, but little bourbon to speak of. The beer they describe could be the perfect beer in my opinion. This was solid, but fell short of it’s capability. In my opinion. As a result, still a must try.
