On tap at GTMW 2017. Pours a hazy peach grapefruit with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has notes of tart cherry, a bit of grapefruit and sweet grains underlying. Flavor has a good amount of tart cherry, a bit of sweetness and a touch of oak backing.

12oz bottle. Unfiltered cherry red-amber body. Not much of a head. Cherry aspirin aroma. Pleasant juicy cherry tones. Not as much depth as most sour cherry beers, but also thankfully no acetone brutality either. A pretty decent offering. Not world class by any means, but tasty enough.

12 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy pink-hued amber with a white head. Light cherry hint of an aroma. Flavor is tart and sweet cherry with citric/acetic sourness at the start and finish. I wasn’t into it at first, but it turned out pretty well.

Draft. Fresh grass, black cherry, and milky toffee malt aroma. Ruby red with minimal head. Moderately sweet milky cherry, toffee malt,and straw flavor. Decent body. Nice.
