750ml bottle dated 6/1/16, $32.99 (ouch). Initial aroma upon popping the cork is bad. Pouring it into a glass and letting it breather did not help much. Unsavory aromas of rubber. Appearance is bright red, head dies immediately. Flavor is better than aroma, cherries, cough syrup, mildly tart. Overall quite the letdown for $33, not nearly as good as the montmorency fruit stand I had from 2015.

This is one of the best cherry beers I've seen. Pours a glowing red hue. The cherry aroma is very nice. It's tart yet dry. The cherry flavor is really nice, lending to a tart cherry pie filling like flavor. There's not a lot of residual sugar to provide sweetness, which isn't a bad thing. It's just a very nice fruited saison.

750ml bottle, 3.23.16 bottle date, poured into a Casey Brewing and Blending oversized wine glass. Enjoyed on 11.20.16, reviewed from Tasting Journal.

The beer pours a nice bright pink and red color, ruby and garnet hues, cloudy with decent opacity with a thin white head that has no lace or retention. The aroma is excellent, tons of cherry, fresh and fruity, light tartness with some pleasant pie spicing, light wheat character with some lemon zest, a soft and developed funk and a bit of earthy and musty oak barrel. Definitely similar to a traditional kriek from Belgium, nice funk and yeast profile, really inviting and delicate aroma. The flavors are very nice, loads of cherry, very true to taste fruit profile, rich and ripe cherry, very jammy, plenty of oak barrel, lemony acid, pie spice, mineral water and distinct house cultures from Casey. The flavors are a bit oaky, drier, more muted than the nose led on, but still quite enjoyable with plenty of jammy fruit to savor. The mouthfeel is solid, coats the tongue very well, quite lively with a light to medium body, plenty of carbonation that isn't too abrasive with a tart and dry finish.

Verdict: A very good fruited saison from Casey. Plenty of jammy cherry, beautiful kriek like aroma and a nice tart/sour finish. Distinctly Casey with a good showing of their house cultures, but very reminiscent of popular krieks from overseas, excellent beer.

750ml bottle, batch 1, bottled 3/23/2016. Served in a Casey stemmed glass. Pours a ruby reddish body, clear with a slight amber hue, one finger thick white head that doesn't stick around for all too long. Short retention. No lacing. Looks more or less like a different coloured wine. Smells of rich cherry skin, cherry fruit juice, light lemon, mild leather, light oak, minimal funk, moderate acetic acidity, touch of zest. Flavour is a hefty cherry fruit juice presence, really quite nice with a bit of cherry skin tartness, moderate acetic acidity, touch of zest, mild lemon, house minerality (perhaps slightly sulphuric) with a touch of leather and light funk. Mouthfeel is lighter bodied, good carbonation, dry and refreshing, lots of cherry skin on the finish. A tasty touch up on the base Fruit Stand, seems to be a fair bit more cherry skin and less hair styling product on the aroma here.

Magnificent beer. This was the June 2016 batch i believe. Amazing casey funk on teh nose with lots of cherry. Flavor is crisp and a moderate level of sour with jammy cherry flavor all with a beautiful bretty funk to it. Surprisingly not super dry which was nice. Reminded me a lot of 2016 MVB from JK
