Lone Pine Brewing Dark Truce (Cherries)

“Captures the essence of dragon fruit with a pleasant soft cider-like tartness to balance, providing fruitiness, subtle spice, and earth notes. And there’s a distinctive beer character with a lightly toasted malt backbone.”

Clear, orangeish to light amber in appearance with a frothy off-white head. The nose features a fruity dankness normally associated with an experimental IPA, along with caramel and dried fruit akin to a fruit roll-up. Heavy toast up front, then sweet, light caramel in the middle, while a hint of noble bitterness just keeps things in balance into the medium dry finish. Hops evolve with an earthy quality on subsequent sips.

“Pleasant light fruit character throughout; raspberry jam. Delicate but balanced with hints of sweetness and a soft, tart finish. Sophisticated and subtle, if a bit one-dimensional.”
