375 ml bottle from The Referend (NJ), before the PA move, 1/9/22. 2019 Release, bottled June 29, 2020. Clear reddish-pink. Thinner pink-beige head. Tart cherries dominate this one. Funk and earthy undertones. Solid flavor. Kind of one note, but not in a bad way, just hard to pick out much beyond all that cherry.

375mL bottled June 29, 2020, drunk 1/9/2022. Clear, violet-tinged, raspberry/cherry-red with a small, violet/pink-tinted head that immediately runs to the edge. Beautiful cherry with a strong lactic edge to it and low malt/wheat character. Maybe a touch of acetic sharpness. Heavy fruitiness almost smells raspberry-like. Very jammy but also with a strong acidity. In the mouth it's just full-on, beautiful cherry meat/pulp with a lactic character that is refined and easily balancing. On the lighter side, body/texture-wise, especially for its near 7% abv. Incredibly tart/sour, yet not too much acetic character, thankfully. Cherries for days. Could stand a bit more malt/wheat texture, but you can't argue with the flavors they've created here.

At Snallygaster. Poured a slightly hazy ruby red color with a small off-white, slightly pink head. Aroma was cherries, tartness. Flavor was a touch acidic, tart and tasty.

Good cherry infusion, sour cherry. Tangy sour cherry vibe. Pretty nice balance. Some sharp sourness at the finish. Pours pink with good head and lacing. Tap at Snally.

Bottle. Pours a clear red with a slight ruby hue and a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has sour cherry with a good amount of oak and light funk supporting. Flavor has sharp sour cherry with a decent amount of oak and just a hint of funk underlying.
