2015 Cleveland Beer Week special though I first saw it on draft at World Wines two weeks later.
"This year’s I-90 Special Ale is an extra special one. We’ve been experimenting with sour beers and we’re proud to share this, our 3rd Kettle Sour made with ingredients from local farmers and local maltsters. This Cherry Gose is made in a traditional style which includes coriander and salt. The wort aimed for a 5.0% ABV, but since it’s fermenting on local cherries, the fermentable sugars took it up to 6.5% ABV"

Poured from a growler into a stange
A: Light red (!) with a one-finger head that slowly settles
S: Sour cherry, wheat & orange though a bit light overall
T: Sour cherry, wheat, spice, a hint of vinegar/bitter/salt on the finish
M: Light-bodied, light carbonation, sour
O: Unique & rather enjoyable. I missed the coriander but not sure what that would have added. Tasty, refreshing beer
