16 oz can courtesy of MAD KHALIL THE BEER HUNTER poured into Belgian ale glass. No date. I'm a tad skeptical on age, as always.

L: Big head does not alleviate my concern. We're talking well over 3F, with medium retention, leaving no lacing, and eventually just a thin ring. Beer is a darkish red-amber.

S: Sour cherries, yeast, malt, roughly in that order.

T: Yeah, I think this is a bit past prime. Sour cherries up front, with yeasty and Bretty notes following. Some bready malts. Finish not too sour, I would say mid-range. Could see this being lights-out fresh; not too bad now, just muted.

F: Light to medium body, more chewy than appropriate for style. Medium to strong carbonation, key for drying and sour not lasting on palate. Construction and balance good.

F: Perfectly decent sour.

Dark amber and nearly clear. Small head that recedes to rim bubbles. Little lace.

Mild, dark, sour cherry aroma. Surprisingly mild smell.

Starts with a neutral "brown ale" base. Lip smacking tartness on the finish. This reminds me of the Flemish red ales. The body is light with a neutral effervescence, like the style predicts. Long aftertaste of dark, tart cherries.

Had on tap at the brewery. Dark amber color with an off white head. Complex nose with cherries, white bread, vanilla and oak. Taste was amazing: pleasingly sour but not mouth-puckering; notes of cherries, funk, sweet malt and wood. Full bodied and with a clean finish. Really tasty.

Delightful tart. Rich dark sour cherries with wood. Very well balanced flavors. Pours a beautiful dark garnet color and begins with a decent head. The real thing. Don't miss this.

64 oz growler was poured into a pint glass.

Appearance: A one finger pink head was poured that reduced to a thin layer. It is an amber copper color with good clarity and vision of bubbles coming up through the glass.

Smell: Fruity, bready, raspberries, cherries, and oak.

Taste: Tart, funky, sour, chewy, dark red fruit, some sweetness, and oak.

Mouthfeel: A little tart, pucker, some chewiness, refreshing, light bodied, and medium carbonation.

Overall: An enjoyable Flemish red. I need to go to MD again.

Tastes similar to a Flemish sour but with woody and rye notes. The mouth feel is very light and the nose is very barn and farm. A lovely brew overall.
