1st review of this beer on BA. Glad its listed as a wild ale here, the brewery pushes the idea that this is a saison/lambic blend. Its a wild ale. Thanks to leftpaw for bringing it out in late October 2018.
Pours a cloudy reddish and pink color indicative of the bing cherries used in this beer. Didn't form and hold much in the way of a head, so pretty color, but not a very beercentric head formation/retention. Aroma hit the sour power cherry notes, wasn't picking up anything in the way of lambic or saison funk or bugs. Was all about those bings. And it was nice.
Taste, hey, I like cherry sours, and this had some good ones. Not quite Montmorency, but Bing ain't nothing to sneeze at. Plenty sour, but acidity wasn't problematic. Carbonation good. Still wondering why the head formation was lacking even though the carbonation was fine. Its nice, but the price of a 375 ain't far off from what other breweries are doing 750s of cherry wild ales (Cascade, Bruery, DeGarde etc.) out this way.
