Bottle from Brewers Haven. Light pink body, tiny airy head. Aroma equal parts funk and cherry cough drops. Taste is more of the candy sweetness fake cherry flavor. Minor Saison notes, but not enough to overcome the too sweet flavor. Not tart at all.

This was poured into a nonic and treated as a fruit beer.
The appearance was a glossy to burnt golden/semi-bronzed orange to amber color with a fair dissipation to a soft white head. No lacing.
The aroma started off with a soft tart to sweet authentic cherry flavor over top of some light sweet freshly cut grass.
The flavor was basically the same with the low riding sweet grassiness coming in for a nice balance. Lingering sweet to tart cherry flavor rolling into the aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation rides nice and light with a crisp refreshing feel about it.
Overall, it works as a fruit beer, though I see Bridgetown is saying saison, sorry, guys, I don’t see the other qualities, but good for what it is. Me, I could have it again for me, could make a nice dessert beer.

Honey colored pour with a lingering white head. Slight cherry tartness, light fruit, a bit of farmhouse, light herbal earth. Finish is mildly dry. Medium body with plenty of carbonation. Quite enjoyable.

Bomber from Belmont Station. Pours orange gold with a white head. Tart cherry aroma - but not strongly so. Med minus body. Flavor is malty and has some tart cherry. Just a bit phenolic. It’s ok, but not as cherry as expected. Still, it’s growing on me.

Bomber from Safeway in Seaside. Aroma is cherry pie (pits and flesh of the fruit), generic beer, cinnamon. Pours bright copper with an off-white head. Taste is lightly tart cherry, spices. I don’t smell or taste any Belgian influence. How hard is that for a brewer to use a little Belgian yeast in such a Belgian style? That being said, it does taste pretty good.
