On tap at Rose & Crown. Supposedly this is an alternative one-off version of their George Brett sour ale, which was good if a bit solventy.

Cloudy reddish-amber color with a nicely formed white head and great lacing.

Aroma is fruity (cherries) and malty with vinegar and brett. Solventy? Yeah, a little bit, but it smells pretty good.

Flavor is caramel malt, tart cherries, brett, vinegar, and a solventy note that has been present in other Drake's sours. Having this next to Russian River Supplication really exposed that flaw in this one. Flavor is also a bit light.

Medium bodied, dry and a little solventy on the palate. Only slight acidity.

Drinkability is above average. Overall, pretty good, but not a standout for the style at all.
