This one was just ok. It actually reminds me a lot of Prairie's Cherry Funk, but without much cherry flavor. It had more funk to it than I would have liked and the cherries seemed to only lend themselves to the color of the beer and not the taste.

Undated bottle at 55 degrees into snifter
Aroma weak, cherry, doesn’t last
Head small (<1 cm, aggressive pour), white, fizzy, diminishing nearly instantly into two mm ring and small islands
Lacing – none
Body medium yellow with pink cast, hazy, effervescent
Flavor – sour, faintly cherry; no malt, no hops, no alcohol, no diacetyl
Palate medium, watery, fizzy

Appearance 3.5, Aroma 3.25, Flavor 3.5, Palate 3.25, Overall 3.25

Not bad for No Labels first attempt at a sour. The tartness is there but not on the scale that the bottle label would lead you to believe. As other reviewers have said, if you view this as a Berliner Weiss style, you won't be as disappointed. Keep it up No Label, let's see if you can build on this one!
