Ballast Point Hout Series Dark Cherry

A beet red lambic with no head. In aroma, a nice lambic with light Brett notes, a bit of lactic acids, ground cherries. In mouth, a nice and simple cherry lambic with light baryard notes, some buttery notes, not bad but a bit underwelming. On tap at Ballast Point 13 Anniv. Beer Festival , Oct. 24 2009.

ballast 13th anny, currant, and geuze were on draft too. This was a big sour sour. Didn’t have the complexity of the other 2 but still a really nice brew. Wish these aren’t so rare. Carb on this was less than the other 2 but it worked because the sourness was powerful. Little funk and the cherry fruit was nice. Color was a touch cloudy. Awesome rare treat.

Stone Sour Fest 2009 Poured a dark red. Nose was mostly sweet cherries and a little bid of acid. Taste is very big with cherries and earthy flavors. Tastes of wood, toasted nuts, and of course sweet and tart cherries.

(Draught) Pours a cloudy reddish body with a spare light pink head. Aroma of cherry, wood, and light leather. Flavor of cherries, earth, and brett with a dry finish.
