Sampled from the tap at the brewery. Pours a pinkish gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges quickly. Aroma is full of sweet cherry with light grass and sweet grains backing. Flavor has lots of sweet cherry with grass and grains underlying.

Can. This seems like such a bad idea... I’m not sure how these two flavors go together, so I sit there for a minute trying to figure out whether to give it a try or not... but curiosity got the best of me, so here I am. Pours a light pinkish gold with a decent head and aromas of lightly grassy hops with a touch of fruit maybe. Flavor is definitely odd... I’m not sure if it is good or not... sometimes it comes off as a cherry ale, sometimes as a weakly hopped IPA, but then I kinda like it every now and again... then I make a face like WTF on the next sip. It’s an odd duck, that’s for sure.

12 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 3/10/2017. Pours fairly crystal clear pinkish/reddish orange/amber color with a 1-2 finger dense light pink head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice dense soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big tart/juicy cherries, grapefruit, tangerine, lemon zest, orange peel, light pine, honey, light caramel, toasted bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of cherries, citrus/pine hops, and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tart/juicy cherries, grapefruit, tangerine, lemon zest, orange peel, pine, honey, light caramel, toasted bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine/grassy/citrus peel bitterness and light fruit tartness on the finish; with lingering notes of cherries, grapefruit, tangerine, lemon/orange peel, pine, honey, toasted bread, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of cherries, citrus/pine hops, and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitter/tartness balance, and zero astringent hop/fruit flavors after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from lingering bitter/tartness, increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth and moderately bready/grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Slight resins and fruit acidity near the end of the glass. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.3%. Overall this is a great fruited IPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of cherries, citrus/pine hops, and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth, easy, and quite refreshing to drink; thanks to the balanced bitter/tartness and drying finish. A very enjoyable offering.
