    So I have a bottle of 2009 Snake River Le Serpent that I'm thinking of putting up for trade as cherry-flavored sours aren't really my thing. Problem is I have no idea what to ask for with this bottle as I don't know much about it. Researching this beer yielded very little results. I want to say that I saw somewhere that there were about ~120 bottles produced, but this may be incorrect.

    For those with more experience and knowledge than I do, would this bottle at least get me into the ballpark for any of the following beers (of course, I could add to it to cover $4$ or rarity differences)?

    - Damon
    - Bourbon barrel Hunahpu
    - Any BA Dark Lord
    - BA Speedway
    - Churchill's Finest Hour
    - Maple Tripple
    - Vintage Beatification

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks all!

    FYI - Le Serpent is a Flanders Red. It's only cherry flavored if it's the cerise version.

    If the tree on the label has cherries on it, than you have the Le Serpent Cerise. You are right about the 120 bottle release. There aren't many traders in Jackson and they're $25 a bottle, so it does sometimes take a bit of time to sell out. It's sought after in the trading market, but only among the serious sour-heads.

    That said, it's delicious! I don't know about landing beers like the ones you mentioned. I did trade some for beers of similar caliber after the release last year. Find the right person and you might be able to make that happen.

    What he says.

    There are very few that made it out of Jackson. FWIW, I traded one a while back straight up for a BC RARE... and both parties I think left pretty damn happy.
