Bottle shared on 10/25/08 by kramer: Pours a mostly transparent copper orange with a thin, wispy-lacing white head. Nose of lightly sweet biscuity pale malts and assertive tart cherry character. Starts semi-sweet and lightly puckeringly tart before a crisp finish. Well-balanced and true to style. An enjoyable brew.

Thanks to either Mike or Brad for bringing this and sharing it with the people who showed up. I was not sure what to expect so with no expectations it had every chance to impress. In the end it did just that although being so limited this one will be hard for people to get their hands on so if you do thank your friend profusely.

Aroma / Appearance - A thin off white head and amber brown body revealed the origins of this as a pale ale. Sawdust, oak, vanilla, cherry crisp, and apricot blend fruitiness with farmhouse in a nice mix.

Flavor / Palate - Oak, sawdust, and white wine start the experience nicely. A malty finish dries out the throat. The alcohol is not evident at all. Funky and smooth this is a nice way to spend fifteen minutes.
