Pours a clear, pinkred. Lighter then the Belgian Kriek Lambics. Foam dies off before it's formed, completely. Scent is loud on cherry pits, recognizable amlam as well, but not in a significantly good, nor bad way. Taste is medium acidic, to medium high in the aftertaste. Dry, and very sharp - recognizable AmLam for sure. Very drying, woody undertone. Cherry giving aroma, fairly mild compared to the original Belgians. Has a buttery touch to it, which is a twist for the dryness it has. Mild gasoline-like phenolic undertone. It's ok. righteously bottled and sold; but especially on this side of the pond, where this beer would be much harder to get and more expensive than real cherry lambic, it's kinda pointless - just go for the real stuff - much more depth, balance, intensity and complexity.
On the other hand, living in the US, having this as a local brew, where lambics are harder to get and more expensive, a beer like this makes way more sense.
