A- Redish with a bit of sediment
S- Belgium yeast and bit of slight cherry
T- Not really tart at all. Belgium phenols and over ripe cherries
F- Medium
O-Was hoping for more of a straight forward sour. This isn't sour at all. More of belgium yeast type expressions and cherries that are beginning to turn.

My last can, I figured I'd better review it. I've had a few of these so it's not brand new fresh to me.
Nice cherry-cranberry color with a bubble gum pink head of 1/2 finger.
Aroma of Apple Cider Vinegar being the loudest note, followed by funk and some faint woody berries.
Flavor is of tart vinegar, funk, wood, fruity ash, and then slight cherry on the finish.
Feel has a crispness with a smooth overall feel, effervescent and some surprising light alcohol burn on the finish.
Overall, this beer isn't bad, but it's not as impressive as their other beers. Could pass as any other Belgian style honestly. Label it a cherry Saison, or a Berliner Weiss, it's all the same. Just kinda bland.

Poured from a 12 oz. can into a chalice.
Appearance: Pours a hazy brownish red. Moderate amount of bubbles and a solid finger of off white head with a pinkish hue.
Smell: A fruity and fairly sour aroma with a scent of cherries and funk. Upfront scent of cherry juice. Hints of Belgian like yeast along with some funk and malt hints of wheat, grains, and cracker. A solid aroma.
Taste: Like it smells, a fruity and sour taste with notes of cherries and funk. Upfront taste of cherry juice along with some berries. Yeasty notes of funk. Malt notes of wheat, grains, and cracker. A pretty decent taste.
Mouthfeel: Light to medium bodied with a moderate amount of carbonation. Juicy and pretty smooth.
Overall: A solid fruited Sour. Nice cherry flavor with balanced sweetness and tartness.

L - Cloudy red and a head of quick fading fizz
S - Smells of red patch sour candies
T - Like cherry bitters and shave ice, great bugs in it, gentle sweetness in the back.
F - Light bodied, champagne like bubbles, definitely stays on the palate for a good minute
O - I'd say this hits the spot for a lighter SA if you see it round do try it. Personally I prefer a bolder taste and the sour to knock my teeth out.

L: Dark mahogany red with a big foamy pink head. Poor retention. It quickly fizzles away, leaving no head and no lacing.
S: Sweet and sour cherries, wheat, a hint of clove, plum, red apple skin.
T: Black and red cherry, sweet and sour balance. Lightly wheaty malt backbone, hints of plum and red apple skin, and a touch of hay and clove on the back end. Lightly tart.
F: Medium, well carbonated, crisp, clean, and lightly dry.
O: A pretty tasty cherry ale. Not very sour, but very cherry-forward.

Nice brownish-red in color with minimal head and almost non existent lacing. Aroma is full of funk and tartness. Taste is plentiful with cherries but not as tart and as full bodied as I expected. Decent tartness is there but seems a bit off centered. Decent and overall, verynice sour ale !

Can to tall tulip.
The appearance was a semi-thick dark pink to almost light red color with a quickly dissipating finger and a half's worth of white foamy head that didn't leave any lace.
The aroma had the sweet to tart cherry flesh to skin blend over top of a light lemon pulp, light funk, some clean acidic sticky fruitiness, and ended with a little bit of dry semi-sweet non-barrel wood.
The flavor was moderately sour with the tart and sweet edges following through the lemon, acidic sour to funky sort of grassy smooth yet having a nice "sour grip." Grasped the aftertaste with an acidic lemon to cherry to grassy and funky sort of ordeal.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair sipping quality about it. Carbonation bounced in on the sour grip just as I expected - substantial but not overbearing. ABV felt on par.
Overall, pretty good American sour ale that I would have again.
