Poured from fridge temp. Pours a dark red with little head. Nose is cherry, menthol. and sweaty sock. Taste is shit, sweat, raisin, and wine. A bitter taste. Mouthfeel is dry and light. Overall, an interesting beer that I'm not a big fan of.

650ml bomber poured into tulip Christmas Day 2016
A hazy reddish brown, not much for head or lace but I can see some streams going up the side
S has a cherry pie filling thing going on, cherries and spice with lots of baking bread and brown sugar
T not as sweet as the nose, reminds me of cherry cola without all the sugar, hard to place the spice but there's lots of it
M not overly sour but a little tart, medium weight with the bubbles softening it up, cherries and vinegar linger
O interesting mix of fruit and spice with lots of bready malt, sour notes without turning your mouth inside out
Another respectable beer from Dandy, nothing blows me away but not lacking anywhere either, keeps the interest in these guys going....

Would have loved more of a sour tartness. This is a great entry-level sour. More Cherry Blasters that sour gumballs, if you know what I mean.

650ml bottle - 'for when the air is crisp, and the leaves begin to turn' - hah, not this year, bubs.
This beer pours a murky, dark dishwater brown colour, with one finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly beige head, which leaves a tiny bit of spawning salmon lace in places around the glass as it quickly dissolves.
It smells of somewhat tart cherry juice, gritty and grainy pale malt, a hint of phenolic yeastiness, ephemeral cocoa powder, some metallic booziness, and very tame leafy and herbal green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, a touch of caramel sweetness, some pithy nuttiness, a sort of edgy cherry and plum fruitiness, receding earthy yeast, a more level alcohol warming, and some still understated weedy and floral hoppiness.
The bubbles are fairly low-key in their quotidian frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and generally smooth, as the sourness here certainly isn't of the palate-wrecking, interfering ilk. It finishes off-dry, the base brown malt holding down the fort as the mixed dark stonefruit lazy flits about.
Overall, this is an approachable enough sour brown ale, one now evidently made more in the vein of a Flanders Red Ale or Oud Bruin. Not particularly sour, but the cherry and friends fruitiness definitely comes through, and the 14-proof wowee sauce quotient keeps mostly to itself - always appreciated.
