Draught at Ginger Man, 11/21/18.
Bright magenta-cranberry, medium haze, with a pinkish head showing low retention.
Smells of buttercream, tart currant and vanilla with cherry juice character on the end. Very round and full with no alcohol or bare lactic acid.
First impression seems to be of diacetyl but Im not sure and the palate quickly adjuats to it so that it never stands out again. Cherry juice with soft malts and light tartness throughout makes for a balanced, drinkable beer. Tight carbonation and light honey-cream-biscuit lingering. Quite a bit more flavorful and less sour than previous entries but delicious nonetheless.
