Draught @ The Hoptimist, Manhattan (Jan 2024). Hazy dark yellow with a very small frothy off-white head that dissipates fast, funky aroma, low carbonation, medium bitter, slightly sour, and funky Brett taste, thin body, long finish with some throat burn at the end. Interesting beer.

10/26/19 On tap @ Glorietta Baldy. Wine glass. Opaque, watermelon, pink going on red, dulled cherry color. Smell is leafy, tannic, bright, close to candy-ish cherry. Not deep, but obviously sour & fruity. Taste is sour, half vinegar, bright, not dark. These are Michigan cherries which are tarter, sweeter & not like the dense & dark PNW cherries sold everywhere else. Anyway, it's a lot of tart cherry & not much else. A healthy amount though. The fact that this is beer might slip. Thin, coarse, soso carbonation. Lingering skin & tannins. Tis better then okay, but hard to do more then one.

Pint at Milk and Hops NYC. Translucent rootbeer brown with a cap or white head. Nose has something a touch off but opened to toast and malt, a little bubblegum and date. Flavor is bigger on dried fruit and bigger on cocoa, there's an estery character that is slightly off putting. Intentional and not infected. Creamy finish.
