Taster showing cherry red with a finger of quicky dissipating pink tinged foam. The nose shows moderately intense notes of Brett and cherry. The palate is well carbonated and light bodied. Moderately but sharply tart with light notes of cherry and a corn malt mid palate backbone. Light cherry on the finish.

Can shared by Adam, thanks! Pours a hazy red with a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has tart cherry with a bit of creamy bourbon and a light sweetness underlying. Flavor tart tart cherry and a bit of pie cherry with sweet grains and light bourbon backing.

On tap at the brewery. Pours pinky red. Raspberry, cinnamon, cherry, white wine, oak, bit of woody biscuit stuff. Spritzy body. Good.

Ridiculously hazy pink and light ruby and rose coloured body with a very thin half centimetre tall off-white head that fades fairly quickly. Aroma of pure cherries, funky complex wild yeast with a light bready flavour along with some herbal, dry and grainy notes that definitely make this more of a wild ale than a sour or fruit-based beer. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong dry and very grassy malt notes at first with a little depth from the grain, a lot of cherry and relatively subdued fruit flavours and especially tartness throughout that end with a sturdy, well-balanced beer between all the malt and yeast and the fruity/tart notes. Aftertaste shows the dry, but herbal components of the beer with the complex yeast strain and a dose of the cherries and fruit notes that do dominate the aroma, at least. Overall, a nice enough beer that shows a moderate complexity centered around the fruits with a nice yeast finish and a touch of dryness throughout that make this enjoyable and deep, but not worth a ton of money nor worth searching out or aging! I sampled this ten ounce pour on draught from Blatt Beer & Table in Omaha, Nebraska on 06-November-2018 for US$12,00 (a lot of money).

Tap at Cap Hop. Pours translucent cherry candy red with a pink tinged head. Aroma is very cherry, verging on sweet. Med body. Flavor is cooking cherry, but it’s rather towards sweet than sour. Sour is well subdued. Til the finish, after the cherry sweet departs. Wood appears in the finish as well. Not musty. Just a little astringent oak. Very drinkable ale. Note: Post-rating it’s pairing very nicely with bulgari and kimchi - which has a touch of jalapeño.

32 oz crowler from Almanac, generously shared by Tcon. Thanks!! Wish I could have been there to meet some of my favorites in the biz in person. A glowing reddish pink pour. Not super tart, as I've learned to expect from a typical Almanac sour, but it's a nice change. Refreshing blonde, with a moderate cherry impact. Thick body, has the cherry pie filling touch that I love. Refreshing sour here. Touch of floral character. Another excellent brew from these guys. Learned to expect nothing less.
