Can to snifter.
Appearance: ruddy amber color with a finger's worth of white foamy head that took it's time to dissipate then left subtle sliding lace
Aroma: sweet and tart cherries, seems like a blend of different variations of cherries
Flavor: sweet and tart cherries again, subtle cherry aftertaste
Texture: almost medium bodied, good sipper, tart cherry finish
Overall: I'd say a very nicely done sour cherry ale worth coming back to.

8 oz draft on Nitro. Cantaloupe is bold in the aroma. Melon is the main character with the soft salinity in the finish. Another nice spring brew.
