Shared bottle at Churchkey in D.C.
Pours a flat, unclear red with barely any foam.
Smell is intensely sour with notes of cherries, oak and vanilla.
Taste is almost mouthpuckering but pulls back just before becoming vinegar. Notes of cherries, oak, vanilla and almond. Mouthwatering in the best sense of the word and very complex.
Mouthfeel is thin and almost flat.
Overall, a really great fruited sour, up there with the best American sours I've had.

this is still elite level casey beer, but i had it from the tap this go around, and it was a little less complex and dynamic, and the mouthfeel really suffered, this was almost still. i would imagine bottle conditioning is a huge part of what makes these beers so dry, bubbly, mature, and refined in the bottle, and this was not such in the keg, the chemistry of the process must be a little different in this format, and for me, less desireable in this particular instance. the color of this is insane, despite it being flat, a glowing almost neon looking pinkish orangish red, really dense and pretty, no visible sediment at all. aroma here is puckery cherry with a lot of acid, the classic casey funk and bacterial weirdness, clean but so acidic that its a bit harsh to me, pushed even higher by the cherry. the fruit tastes natural and intensely dosed, majorly ripe and juicy, but also with a lot of tartness of its own to contribute. i get slight white wine in the finish, the tannins from the wood, a little cherry pie note, lemony lacto, and a drying but tired brett aspect. seemingly more fruity and a little less complex than other fruit stand beers, even the cherry ones, but i am reluctant to credit this particular cherry with that difference, and suspect the lack of bottle conditioning to be the main culprit. still excellent beer, but bring your tums!
