Tres Leches - Sour Cherry
Martin House Brewing Company

 

At first pour, it was beautiful but the head disappears quickly. This was very true to the flavor but instead of being as sour as I expected, it was more subdued which actually made it even more pleasant! Pleasant taste throughout. No negative aftertaste. Good mouthfeel overall. The smell reminds me more of red wine than a beer but is truly representative of the name it portrays.

Has a beautiful light red color when poured (reminds you of cherries). Has a nice colored light pink head but does not last long. It smells like sour cherry and tastes okay. The taste and feel almost remind me of a wine.

Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a ruby red color with a big billowy head of white foam. The head has a decent level of retention, fading over time to leave a tiny bit of lace on the sides of the glass
Smell – The aroma of the brew is massive of a sour cherry smell mixed with a nice creamy base. Notes of some light bready smells are there as well.
Taste – The flavor begins with a tart cherry flavor mixed with a rather strong cracker malt. As the flavor advances the tartness gets stronger with more cherry and some sour green apple. Toward the end a little bit of cherry sweetness comes to the flavor and leaves one with a tart cherry flavor to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is light and crisp with a medium carbonation level. The crisp body was great for the very tart flavors and made it a rather easy sipping brew.
Overall – Quite tart cherry overall with just a hint of sweetness. While I wouldn’t go to this often, it was a nice one to try. If you like sours that aren’t overly sour then you may like this brew.
