GABF 2012. Titled "Oak Aged Cherry Lambic." Pours a reddish appearance with a tan head. Quite a bit of oak, tannins, vanilla, and rich cherries in the nose. Somewhat vinous, a bit acetic, rich cherry, oaky flavor. Pretty tasty stuff.

This was the commercial highlight of the Great Nebraska Beer Fest for me (there were some homebrews that really stood out). Beautiful deep red beer. Aroma is all natural cherries with tartness. Not sure if there is much actual "lambic" there but its hard to tell with the natural cherry tartness. more unsweetened cherry tartness in the flavor. Not a cheap wheat beer with cherries but not a Cantillon kriek, somewhere in the middle.
