Brewers Art Charm City Sour Cherry

Brewed by The Brewers Art
Style: Fruit Beer
Baltimore, Maryland USA

Pretty good fruit beer. Color rich...reddish wine. Slight cherry aroma, with a tart cherry flavor. Good, but I prefer Oliver’s Cherry Blossom ale a slight bit more.

tap@grey lodge. pretty exciting to see this. pretty reddish, expected something reasonably tart and tasty but alas it was quite bland. grenadine aroma, light vanilla and brown ale taste with some cherry flavour that amazingly was neither sweet not sour

Draft @ the Grey Lodge Pub - Hyped up as a very rare beer, that was nice to see it at the G-Lodge. However, it may be "rare" (and it is expensive) but nothing outstanding here. Initial cherry taste quickly fades into a thin tasting beer. I’m not sure what type of beer Brewers Art was going for here.

Poured a brownish red color with a small head, but no lacing. Very mild, almost non-existant funky cherry aroma. Taste cherry taste, possibly some diactyl? with a watery, but over carbonated mouthfeel.

Murky, reddish brown appearance with a tart, fruity aroma. The added sour cherry flavor compliments the ale without overpowering it. Hops and malts also seem pretty well harmonized. Lively carbonation with a moderately acidic finish.

(On tap at Max's on Broadway, Baltimore) Extended RBSG2003 Hazy, burnt orange ale. Creamy, white head. Ok lacing. The nose is fruity and spicy (ginger? allspice?) with a hint of cherry. The flavor is nice, but unspectacular. Vanilla, gingery, malty flavor up front. Sour cherries and light, bittering hops on the backside for perfect balance. Light-bodied with a watery, astringent mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation. Too thin, though! Short, dry, acidic finish. A little bland overall, but refreshing. I've have much better!

Isn't this just a mild tweak on their Resurrection? Not a "Flemish Sour" at all. Very minor cherry presence and no sourness at all. Don't know what statement their are trying to make. You can do better when at Brewer's Art.

Disappointing as a flemish sour. Tastes like their resurrection with some medicinal cherry syrup. The sourness is really lacking and the cherry is nor prominent. Drinkable as something different but not a great seasonal effort.
