500 mL bottle shared by Hamp at Ale Alpharetta. Pours a dark, ruby brown, with a medium, beige head and good lacing. Nose of black cherries, peppercorns, caramel, and dates. Some berry sweetness and a sharp tartness. Heavy body and sticky. Overall, this is a pretty nice sour red, but it lacks a lot of depth.

Draft - Sweet cherry with a slight sour grape and malt. Cloudy brown orange with a thin brown head. Sour grape, plum and a bit of cherry. Nice but a bit ’fresh’, would be great with a bit of barrel age. Bottle - More flavor and edge. Better.
