Bomber. Pours yellow with fizzy white head, 1 finger, dissipating to nothing but film. High carb. Nose is cherry and bready with mild rubbing alcohol. Fake cherry taste with extremely dry finish, astringently bitter, mild chocolaty-woody flavor there too. Just, not that good.

Dec 26, 2009 Bottle. 25.4 oz. Split with Griff on Christmas night. Pours wheat golen with a slight amber tint. Huge, frothy white head which clears out rather quickly. Aroma of oak, hops, cherry, wheat, malts, and slight notes of bread. Body is mild with a pleasing crisp tartness, especially in the finish. The cherry is not too evident in the flavor; much more earthy and wood taste. Overall a bit of a disappointment, as I excpect a lot from Southern Tier, but still a very enjoyable, drinkable saison.

Dec 16, 2009 Bottle: Dull golden, hazy, thin white sudsy head, falls quickly, sparce lacing. Barnish nose, musty, slight alcohol, otherwise soft wood and perhaps subtle cherry. Saison like, but fairly mealy. Cherry aspect is subtle, same as the wood. Feels heavier than most Saisons. Body and mouthfeel are full to moderate. Lingering spiciness after the finish. Its very American like in that it is mealy, but it also shows subtle hints of cherry and barrel aging. Interesting concoction.

Dec 2, 2009 Bottle. Clear gold body with a white, fizzy head. Pretty weak aroma of cherries, slighty artificial cherries.
The flavor contained a mild cherry flavor, unfortunately an artificial one. Perfumes, spices, sweet, slightly tart, marzipan? Sweet and disappointing.

Nov 30, 2009 Bottle. Natural cherry aroma. Golden amber body with a thin head. Strong cherry flavor followed by spice/ wheat and malts. Dry with a bit of a sour aftertaste. Did not taste as complex as described, but still enjoyable

Nov 24, 2009 22 oz. bottle from Ludow Wines. Pours a slightly cloudy gold with a one-finger white head. Aroma of cherry, oak, farmhouse funk, honey, yeast, and alcohol. Light cherry flavor, with a good balancing aged oak, warming alcohol, caramel, yeast, and sweet malts. Medium bodied and sweet, with a touch of tartness from the cherries and a smooth quality from the malts and honey. Very nice, drinkable beer that I wish I had tried a little fresher rather than sitting on it for a few months.
