Smuttynose Hanami Ale pours a reddish brown with a tan colored head from a brown twelve ounce bottle. The aroma is kind of malty with no hint of cherry and frankly not very impressive. The flavor starts off kind of malty, almost a nut brown ale type flavor. Then a tart cherry flavor appears toward the middle and is definitely noticeable in the aftertaste. This beer is interesting, I think it's definitely drinkable, not really what I had expected but good. Worth a try.

12 oz bottle best by date July 2010
Purchased in 2010 did not like it back then. Had one bottle left and a have been avoiding it ever sense. Tired of looking at it in the back of the fridge and decided to open it for fun. Poured a dirty amber with a decent off white head. Noticed a few particles of sediment at the bottom of the glass. The intrepid first sip was a surprise, nice mouthfeel and good carbonation. This tasted like sour or lambic with some nice cherry notes. I thought this was going to be a drain pour, but it turned out to be pretty good. I'm not sure what matured, the beer or my taste?
