Pours a dark, dark red, almost brown with minimal head. Smell is lively with clear hints of the sourness to come. Taste is sour, sour, sour. You can taste the cherries, but it's almost overpowered by the sourness. It's a good beer, but hard to drink a 750ml solo. Would be perfect in about 8 oz. increments.

On shelf at Spec’s, Schertz, TX. $ 17.03 (Including tax)/750 mL bottle ($ 0.67/oz). Reviewed 3/2/20.
On front label “2015 Project”. Stored at home at 42 degrees and served at 42 degrees in a hand washed and dried Jester King snifter.
Appearance – 3.
First pour – Auburn, slight haze.
Body – Dark brown, reddish tint, translucent. When held to direct light, the same. Marked sediment in the second pour.
Head – Fizzy and gone by the end of the pour.
Lacing – None.
Aroma – 3 – Faint cherry but distinct acetic acid.
Flavor – 3 – Faint cherry rapidly overpowered by acetic acid and ending with tannic acid. No alcohol flavor or aroma (7.1% ABV as marked on the label). No diacetyl, no dimethylsulfide.
Palate – 3 – Medium, watery, lively carbonation.
Final impression and summation: 3. Unremarkable sour, remarkably overpriced.
