Hell yeah, thanks to cloudskipper for sharing this tick at Lost Abbey night at City Beer after it ran out. Over on the other site this is listed as an alias of Red Poppy, but that's BS in my opinion, as this is a considerably different brewski (and a superior one if you ask me).
Cloudy deep burgundy in color with a small off-white head. Looks more or less how it should, if not particularly attractive.
The aroma is massive cherries, really intense. Some oakiness and funk as well as slight vinegar as well.
Huge, huge cherry flavor. Just jumps out of the glass at you. Damn tasty, oaky, mildly funky and tart.
Slight acidity on the palate with a nice tingling from the fruit and tartness that is typical of Lost Abbey sours.
I like this one a lot. Good job, Tomme.

EBF sample. Brownish red with minimal head. Sour and cherry-laden in the nose, Loads of cherries on the palate. Light carbonation Makes regular Red Poppy taste meager. Awesome cherry beer.
