No, this beer isn't named for the season of Fall. Rather, it's named after one of the waterways meandering through Indianapolis - Fall Creek. We brewed this sour ale with real cherries to be consumed any time of the year. Optimally while enjoying the natural beauty all around us every day. Sour ale with cherries.

From a 16 oz. can. Pours a clear copper with an off white, slightly pink tinged, head. Aromas of sour cherries. Flavors are tart dark cherries. A bit thin tasting, but refreshing.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, no can dating. Pours slightly hazy golden orange/amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin spotty lace cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of tart/tangy cherries, fruit skin/pits, raspberry, lemon, lime, pear, green apple, melon, white wine, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, and white bread; with light notes of leathery/musty funk, white wine vinegar, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, cherries, and moderate bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of tart/tangy cherries, fruit skin/pits, raspberry, lemon, lime, pear, green apple, melon, white wine, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, and white bread; with light notes of leathery/musty funk, white wine vinegar, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tartness, fruit tang, and light yeast spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy cherries, fruit skin/pits, raspberry, lemon, lime, pear, green apple, melon, white wine, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread, light funk/vinegar, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, cherries, and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/tartness and tangy fruit balance; and zero puckering flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from tartness, tangy fruit, and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, bready/grainy/acidic/tangy, fairly crisp, and lightly tannic balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 7.5%. Overall this is a very nice fruited sour/wild ale. All around nice omplexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, cherries, and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink; with the modestly acidic/tangy/drying finish, not overly lactic. I was hoping for it to be more jammy on the cherries, but still quite impressive. Well rounded Brett/lacto complexity, balanced cherries, and a nice pale/wheat malt backbone against acidity. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example.
