Debuting (and stretching its legs) in spring 2015, three years of R&D went into the recipe for Supertramp. It was inspired by two previous Brewhouse Rarities releases: Sour Cherry Ale and Black Lager with Cherries.

Early 2015 vintage; drank 3/15/15 @ the Yarchives.
See-through orange/red appearance; champagne bubbles throughout.
HUGE fluffy bright white head; frothy lace.
Honeyed grain & sweet cherry nose.
Thin mouthfeel.
Honeyed grain & mild sweet cherry flavors up front; a hint of tart cherry on the finish.
Sessionable; suitable for a hot summer day, but not very memorable.

Nose of faint cherry, sweet malt, hay, slight perfume floral note. Taste bland artificial watered down cherry juice, slight tartness, malts, graininess, light body. Blah!

Orange/slightly reddish in color.
Can definitely detect the tartness by the aroma.
Slightly salty like a gose, or maybe its just the sour profile.. i cant tell.

12oz brown bottle, sample from the brewery.
Thin white lace, clear golden rose hue. Smells of a cracker and mild cherry jam. Crisp and light bodied, a little bread with some cherry flavor and a mild tartness. A bit thin and weak about there is enough flavor to get by, just no depth. Refreshing though not noteworthy.

look; pale golden, short head disappears instantly, central eruption of big carbonation with a`few bubbles on the outside
smell; raspberry/cherry, a little wheat
taste, cherry, raspberry, honey, a hint of sour, sweet roll malt
feel; pretty good, medium carbonation
overall; it's not tart, it's a cherry light ale, disappointed about that but a`drinkable fruity light ale

A: Pours a reddish/pink hued copper color with a fingers worth of head that fairly quickly fades down to nothing
S: Cherries and pie crust malt up front, along with some general moderate sweetness. Lightly tart. A lot like cherry pie
T: Starts off with a bit of the tart cherry and maltiness then goes into a some of the sweetness and pie aspect. Finishes with some maltiness
M: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation
O: A beer for those who want a fruity alcoholic beverage rather than a beer that tastes like beer. Good for those who like cherry pies and fruit beers. If you're not into either, then it's probably better to avoid this one
