Served on cask. Pours a light ruby body little head. Aroma is sweet sour cherry funk and some woodiness. Wood in the flavor but more like a cherry vinegar. eh.

Bottle, picked up at Defiant. Pours a clear, reddish amber with no head. There’s cherry, funk/brett, flowers and wood. Notes of tart sour cherry, a little salt, citric acidity, a touch of vinegar and some brett/horse sweat character. Light bodied with soft carbonation. It’s cool to see American brewers attempt these styles.

Sample provided by jasonp. Hazy amber body with a small beige head. The nose is sweet with cherries, light horseblanket, toffee and berries. The flavor is moderately sweet, lightly tart with cherry, cotton candy and caramel. Medium body is soft with light carbonation. Solid effort.

I hate giving it a bad rating because fruit beers are not my thing, and this was no exception, but this just wasn’t drinkable at all. If someone told me it was a cherry flavored Cider I probably would have enjoyed it more. Fizzy and sweet, it reminded me of Evil Eye Red............still have to give Neil his props for trying his hand at just about any and every style out there.

Tap at Brewtopia 2007: Hazy deep orange pour topped by a thin light tan film. Tart aroma of sour cherry skins, some tannins, and a lactic hint. The flavor is slightly disappointing though. Extremely mild, tartness is mild and seems subdued a bit. Mild cherry skin background. Estery hint with a hint of grains in the finish. You can only identify cherry character in the aroma. If not told, I don’t think I would’ve guessed this is brewed with cherries, just has some cherry character. This stuff is missing something.
