Very fitting to the style. Nice and tart with the cherry and sour notes. Not super funky and a little light in the body but still an excellent beer!

 

 

 

 

I've been lucky enough to drink this beer on several occasions. It really is a great example of a Michigan sour. The color is beautiful, cherry red, and almost appears to glow in the glass. The smell is a slight funk with a whole bunch of sour cherry. The taste matches perfectly to the aromas. It's just one of my favorites.

This was a well crafted beer. reminded me of supplication a little, but without the complexity. Nice ruby red color, very pleasant to look at. The smell is of Cherries and some tartness. The taste is a tartness/sourness explosion. exactly what I was promised by the bartender. The Cherries really shine through. The complexity is a little lacking as the sourness fades and it ends like a crisp cider. No farmhouse funk which is great for me, as its not a flavor I particularly enjoy. Would definitely buy this again.

 

Potentially the best sour beer I've had from Michigan. This beer was great, though I haven't had too many Krieks I didn't like! This was above average even so. A nice sour and cherry sweet balance, so delicious!
