I haven't had much arclight but I know they're OG, this is like atrial rubicite++ levels of jammy. Gnarly packed cherry flavor. I think you sent me this FlandersNed , thanks! I wish the can was dated but however old it is these cherries died for my sins!

Fat på Brewskival 2022, fre. Mörkare röd med rosavit krona. Stor, syltig, ganska stor sötma som balanserar upp syrligheten. Mycket körsbärskärnor, lätta mandeltoner, inlagda körsbär, fat, trä, stramhet, lätt funk. Mycket gott men förrädiskt i sin alkoholstyrka och sötma.

Draft at 8 Degrees Plato. Pours a clearish cherry red with a small bit of pink foam that dissipates. Distinct cherry aromas with a touch of vanilla and light vinegar aromas. Sweet cherry, cream and a some acidity as it goes down. Lingering tart berry and sweet cherry. Has that syrup-like texture that many of Arclight's sours have.
