Can to stange.
Appearance: dark amber to light purple color with a two finger pink foamy head which took it's time to slide off then barely leave any lace
Aroma: cherries - tart, sour and semi-sweet playing with some yeast and a light touch of floral to grassy character underneath
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together tart, sour and semi-sweet; mild aftertaste of the cherries
Texture: light to medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper; some tart abrasion on the tongue; finishes with the cherry tartness
Overall: lovely beer well worthy to coming back to.

From Good Times Oakland. 2023 canning.
Unclear deep amber/red, short lived "head" of foam.
Aromas of sour cherries, little bit of Brett, with a taste of sour cherries, Brett, sourness seems to intensify the more I sip. Very dry aspect to it.
I dig it

Aromas are tart cherries, malt with a little yeast and spice. Flavors are similar to nose with a barest hint of sweet in back. Okay body and carbonation. Very short lived fizzy head on a dark amber liquid with a tiny bit of pink.

Sampled from the tap at Navigator Taproom. Pours a slightly hazy peachy pink with a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has sour cherry and earthy oak with a bit of bread underlying. Flavor has sour cherry throughout with a hint of oak and a bit of earhty grain underlying.

Can from Tavour. Pours hazy dark red with a slight, transient pink/beige head. Aroma is tart cherry with a sweet note at the end of the inhale. Med body. Flavor is rather tart/sweet cooking cherry. Nicely done, but I opine it would have been nicer with Schaarbeekse cherries - tho that might just be a head thing. Morello may be morello wherever found. Good ale in any case.
