Pour is burgundy red with thing white ring. Nose is light, cherry and hint of leathery brett. Cherries are fleshy and a touch medicinal. Flavor is cherry pit, faint brett leather, a bit of dark malt, faint sourness, slightly medicinal cherry. Full bodied, fairly soft feel, moderate carb.

Appearance: Arrives with a reddish hue; the head sits nicely on the liquid, maintains well and streaks some lace
Smell: Cherry tones, with a hint of grain
Taste: The cherry tones in this beer balance between the sweet and tart and, other than the notes of grain, the flavors are relatively limited beyond the cherry
Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation
Overall: For a sour, the beer lacks depth and complexity and comes across more like a fruit beer; not a bad beer, just doesn't have what I seek out for a beer of this style

Okay this was better than I was expecting.
Cherry tones are present, but not overly heavy. Sour tones are an accent, but not abrasive. Easy drinking. The only detractor is the grain flavor that hits sometimes (a theme for Hop Farm's sour brews, it seems). This is one of the more interesting beers from Hop Farm that I've had. If they can iron out some of the wrinkles (the amateur brewing characteristics: grain tones mainly), this could really turn into something that will blow people's minds.
If this was readily available, I would probably pass over most other beers to drink it.

Shades of atrial, but with cherries. Super lush mouthfeel. Very cherry for sure...but there's a nice funky backbone going on. Really nice beer.
