Yes, it has been a while (I’ve been working a non-beer related project) anyway it’s time to review again and today I’m playing catch-up on the beers sitting in the old fridge door- so prepare for a few weird and wild Moon Dog’s, and this Edge Brewing Project Cherry Popper Tart Ale. Today is about cherries, marmalade, celery and tomato... yep it’s one of those crazy days - strap on your seat belt because you’re going for a ride dear reader!
Poured from a 330ml bottle into a Chimay chalice.
A: An intriguing yeast-speckled Guava pink... never seen a beer this shade before... with a thin pink-hued white lace ring - I give it a 10/10 for intrigue, which translates to an: 8/10.
S: Aroma is sour cherry pie - hmmm, nice, there’s a hint of sweetness in there as well, along with a hint of cherry-flavoured cough syrup towards the end. The overall aroma is mouth-wateringly tart - you know when you breath in something sour and your tongue salivates, I’m getting that. Good. I expect this is what the brewer was aiming for - mission accomplished. 8/10.
T: Watery... needs more flavour, but refreshing nonetheless with a tart cherry touch upfront. Not much else going on - this needs a counterpoint to the sour with some sweetness... or even bitterness. This doesn’t even taste like a beer really, more like a sour cherry soda drink. 5/10.
M: Light bodied with a light tiny dense carbonation going on. Suits the overall wateriness of this drink which I imagine would work well on a hot summers day. 5/10.
D: Well I wasn’t sold on the overall vibe of this brew, it’s too watery, a bit bland and lacking in flavour complexity. This is a missed opportunity by Edge Brewing Project in a now highly saturated craft beer market. If you’re looking for a refreshing and decent cherry beer you can’t go past the comparatively priced Petrus Aged Red (which ironically enough has an opposite problem to this: too much flavour) a brew I quite enjoyed despite the intense cherry characters. 5/10.
Food match: Something salady and slightly creamy... russian salad with grilled chicken and potato salad.

Pours hazy mauve with a small head.
Nose shows soft cherry, doughy wheat and some cardboard notes.
Very restrained flavours. Some more cardboard-like malt and very soft cherry. Hardly any acidity.
Feels watery.
