This beer fresh is super jammy. With some age it gets very funky and a little cheesy.

Poured from 375 ml into a tulip glass.
A- a very deep red with very little lace that dissipates extremely quick.
S- lots of tart cherries with some peach hints. You can pucker your cheeks just based on the smell alone. But in a good way.
T- follows the nose almost exactly. Lots of cherries and and tart fruits. Peaches and apricots come through as well.
M- foamy and silky. Makes your cheeks pucker.
O- very delicious overall. This is a new style for me and if this is representative of the style i can definitely see myself getting into these.

4.07/5 rDev -5.6%
look: 2.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.75 | overall: 4
Lots of dregs. Very pink/red brew. Cloudy. Thin. No lacing.
Tons of cherry. Beady and farmy fresh. Horsey.
Much different then expected. Dry, earthy, crisp, super dark cherry. Funky and horsey. Lots more Brett then I imagined. Tart, farm filled, cherry. Flavors are much better than aroma. Heavenly carbonation and earthy dryness. Sweetness is relaxed, yet tightly held. Not overly tart.
A very "wound-up" brew. Not overly flamboyant, or self-sufficient. Lots of action in this brew. Kinda forgettable, but it's still good, just not OMG amazing.
