Poured from a 16.9oz bottle into a US tumbler pint glass.
A: The beer is a dark reddish brown color, with a very thin off-white head that fades very quickly and leaves a very thin lace on the glass.
S: The aroma contains tart cherries, lager yeast, caramelized malts and a touch of hops.
T: The taste starts out with a huge bite of sourness from flavors of cherries and other dark fruits. Then some mild breadiness comes in from lager yeast and a thin malt character. The hops presence is very mild and brings a bit of balance. The after-taste is tart.
M: Crisp and a little smooth, medium body, light-to-medium carbonation, finish is dry and slightly sticky.
O: Flavorful, goes down easily, not too filling, mild kick, good variation of style, it’s a decent beer to drink for a while if you want a sour beer with something a bit different going on.

Light fizzy head fades quickly, dark maroon semi clear brown mahogany color.
Nose is interesting, candy sweet brown malts, sweety toffee brown sugar, candy syrup, with sour cherry, mild caramel and little cocoa, generic cherry syrup and tart cherry. Mild lactic acid and hint if vanilla oak.
Taste is sweet and slightly tart, mostly sweety candy, toffee, caramel, candi, cherry syrup, little tart cherry with sweet candy, touch of tart creamy wheat, mild bourbon notes and vanilla barrel. Mild lactic acid sticky flemmy finish, little tartness, toffee caramel, cherry syrup.
Mouth is med to thicker bod, syrupy flemmy mild acidity, tart, decent carb.
Overall ok, not great but ok.
