An American Style Brown Sour with red cherries. A rich malt backbone and assertive tartness with hints of stone fruit and rich cherry.

473ml can. Pours a clear amber red with a medium, fizzy, short lived, pink head that fully dissipates. Aroma of bready wheat malt, tart cherry, funky yeast, red wine and a hint of wood. Sweet flavour of bready wheat malt, cherry, plum, balsamic vinegar and red wine in a dry, tart finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Enjoyable.

650ml bottle at Matt’s. Pours a hazy brown with a tan head. Aroma is sweet cherries. Taste is the same with bready notes. Not bad.

750mL bottle, pours a deep dark reddish brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out tart and sweet cherries, and saison yeast. Flavour is along the same lines, with tart cherries, light sweetness, and a touch of balsamic. Nothing overly complex, but it works well. Solid.

Bottle - Sour cherry juice. Cloudy reddish with a decent white head. Sour cherry, juice like and a clean finish. Nothing wrong with it, just a little simple and juice like.

Light brown and cloudy. Not much head. This has a light aroma that seems thin, maybe a touch woody, but it offers little. Tart, cherry, and I like the cherry, but the base beer is thin, and lacks complexity. It’s a bit sharp, which works for the fruit, but I’m struggling to find value in the base beer here, and ultimately that makes this unsatisfying.
