From bottle, courtesy of Ster & Trevor, thanks! Hazy pale golden color. White head, not much. Aroma’s: sourish, lactic, herbal/spicy, light sweet, also wheaty and light funky retronasal. Flavor is moderate sour with a hint of salt, light grain. Light bodied. Finish is a bit tart-ish dry.

Draft. Cardamom and chocolate malt aroma. Black with small tan head. Moderately sweet cardamom, chocolate malt, and dry hay flavor. Good body. Pretty good - cardamom dominates.

750mL bottle, fresh, drunk 5/26/16.
Light, cranberry-pink with some deeper cherry flesh hues throughout. Not horribly hazy, but definitely still a light cloudiness to it despite a careful pour. Pink-tinged head atop is flimsy and recedes to a ring quickly.
Not much salinity from the nose but rather, a huge cherry flesh character, authentic and meaty and just bursting with raw fruit power. A bit of coriander provides some interesting complexities as it mixes together with the cherries well. No alcohol or flaw. Very low intensity on the actual beer aspects. Perhaps some cream-of-wheat-like characteristics with low lactic presence.
Unwavering cherry juice character from start to finish, with a low but fairly tight carbonation and slick, wheat-driven texture. Light vanilla, coriander, biscuit and a moderate saltiness on the finish, more of an afterthought. On one hand I want quite a bit more tartness and salinity, but on the other, you can’t deny it’s a very accessible, fruit-forward and well-brewed beer.
