This is described as a "sour blonde aged with cherries." The color is a beautiful pinkish amber, on the hazy side, with plenty of foam in the pint glass. On tap at Mitch's Seafood in Point Loma.

Quite sharp with a distinct woody taste. Malty but overlaid with the acidic tang. The cherry flavor comes through the tangy funk and lingers in the nose.

After scoffing at a lot of sours lately, I find this one highly drinkable and flavorful. I hope the Karl Strauss scoffers will try this one. It's a good example of the world of interesting sour brews outside the vinegar bombs.

Clear champagne-rose colored, pleasant puckering vinegar sourness with vineal hints.

On tap at Slater's 50/50 Rancho Cucamonga on 12/18/15.

I'll preface this review by stating that wild ales are not my favorite style but, I have enjoyed many of which I (and many contributers to this very website) consider to be world class sours. Having said that, my initial reaction to this effort is: pickle juice beer.
