Draught at Ten Bends, 3/23/18.
Cherry-to-strawberry, very ruddy with a white head fading steadily to ring. Light-to-moderate haze.
Very amber malt-forward in the nose, kind of odd in that regard. Cherry juice seems rather meaty and a bit heavy/dull with acidity standing out on the finish, rather starkly.
In the mouth it's bready amber/medium malts with more roasted character than I would expect (more=any). Cherry juice is very attenuated, leaving light prune and cherry meat-like flavors sitting lightly on the palate. Again, it's extremely dry, overattenuated/undermalted. Just needs way more malt softness/depth. Growing husky quickly. No alcohol or flaw. Extremely high attenuation.

4 oz. draft at Ten Bends. Reddish amber in color. Aroma shows mild cherry skins and for some reason, a hint of chocolate. The cherry is very natural, soft cherry skins, mild pie filling. Mild earthy malt/ caramel. Decent.
