An American-style sour cherry ale started with pilsner and wheat malts, then anaerobically soured for three days. Then nearly 200 pounds of Montmorency sour cherries were added during fermentation. Reddish hued beer with a rich sour cherry character balanced by its natural fruit sugars.

One of a large number of samples I had at the Extreme Beer Fest in Boston 3/21/32014. Huge sweet cherry notes, more sweet than sour though.

4 oz pour on draft at Meridian Pint. Clear reddish amber with off-white head. Aromas of tart sour cherries mostly. Tastes of tart sour cherries, light vinegar, cherry pie filling. Medium-light body with a dry finish. Simple but enjoyable.

Northeast Bucket List Trip Beer #7. Pours a clear red with a thin head. Poor head retention. Aroma of maraschino cherries and a mildly tart finish. The taste is tart cherries and mild peppery notes. Thin bodied, low carbonation, mild lingering tartness.
