750ml bottle poured into fluted snifter.
Pour is colored like bing cherry juice. Maroon and mostly clear. Pink foamy head pops itself out fast and leaves a tiny ring around the glass.
Aroma is bright cherry juice, sweet and tart.
The flavor is cherry. Sweet cherries, tart cherries and a hint of background funk and grass. A crisp and clean flavored brew.
Moderate carbonation comes through a bit effervescent and lighter bodied.
I think this tasted and looked fantastic. Refined and layered flavors.

Bottle shared by Eric that foamed over upon opening, thanks for sharing! Big tart cherry juice on the nose and in the flavor with just a hint of earthy light funkiness. Its a tasty beverage but I was honestly hoping for a bit more funk of tart or something,

Poured from a 750mL bottle into an Alchemist Arome glass. Purchased at the brewery this past weekend. Paired with Alchemist cheese washed in Petit Mutant beer.
Pour a deep maroon body with a pink fizzy head that reduces quickly to leave little lacing and no retention.
Aromas are heavy cherry, lots of berries, that's pretty much all I get here but it's fantastic. Definitely going to be sour by the nose.
On the tongue is a significant tartness and a TON of cherries, so much cherry, I love it. Funky yeast comes through on the follow through, finishing dry. Mouthfeel is medium light with high carbonation, very refreshing and easy to drink.
Overall a very well done beer. Tons of cherry and balanced acidity. Would be great in a barrel to add some depth and complexity.
