Bottle shared by Sean, thanks! Poured of hazy pale orange pink with no head. Aroma had a bit of blue cheese with tart cranberries and wheat. Flavor was subtle with a slight tart cranberry and wheat, but overall seemed watery. The beer was lightly carbonated as well.

Bottle thanks to brewedawakening. Poured a cloudy gold with a white head that dissipated slowly and lasted throughout the beer. Aroma had some nice spice with a bit of oak and slightly tart light fruit. Flavor had a slight tart note as well with mellow light grain and spice throughout. A bit of oak came out in the finish.

Bottle thanks to brewedawakening. Poured a hazy pinkish red with a white head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma was a nice combination of a light sweet cherry note with a more dominant tart cherry note. Flavor was a bit sweet but quickly became tart with cherries and a nice dry finish.

Wash. DC tasting. side by side with Cisco Cherry Woods. pours dark brown, tna head. aroma, malty, coffee roast, dark fruits with mild barrel leaving a very mild brett/sourness. flavors, barrel is more pronounced adding the oak to a malty/roasty profile. Light fruit tartness and a touch of warming abv. Finish is wodnerful, plenty of wood/oak, sourness, light vinegar perfectly blended with a more pronounced malt that puts this one on a different spectrum when compared to the Cherry Woods.

Wash. DC tasting. light reddish color, no head. aroma, full of cherry sourness, light notes of vinegar and wood/oak sourness. flavors, sour cherries that along with the barrel aging leave a nice tingly palate. Med-high carbonation with plenty of cherries, there is some lingering peppery notes of the oak barrel with light mustiness and vinegar. Here and there, there are spots of sweetness that are balanced out by a more sour finish. Lots of yum.
