This double fruited sour ale is brewed with vanilla and milk sugar then bombarded with a colossal amount of cherries! Layers and layers of juicy fruit and creamy vanilla unfold on the palate, with just the right amount of bright tartness in the finish.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark amber color with a light purple-ish hues to it and a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet & tart cherry flesh & skin with lactose & vanilla creaminess
Flavor: seems to blend and balance the prior noted aromas to a sour to sweet with tart quality; finishes creamy sweet with the cherries and lactose
Texture: medium bodied, sessionable, pretty smooth and creamy along the tongue
Overall: very nicely balanced fruited tart ale I believe I would come back to.

Pours hazy amber with a creamy off-white head. Chemical aroma. Tart cherry, lactose, vanilla, doesn't seem like beer.
