**Aroma:** “Nice tart and sweet cherry character. Some earthy spicy notes that add complexity. Moderate cherry notes. Slight tart note as it warms up. Strong sour cherry aroma.” **Flavor:** “The balance of the sweetness to the tartness in this beer is really nice. It is not too bold but the nice sharp lactic notes bring boldness to this beer. The carbonation is really nice and helps lift the beer as well. The sweet cherries help to finish the beer and keep it juicy and sweet. Very nice sour cherry character. Not too much barnyard, but still sour complexity.” **Overall:** “Very enjoyable and a nice balance of the tartness to the sweetness. The showcase of both the cherry and the lactic tartness was very nice. As it warms and the carbonation starts to dissipate, more of the cherry note comes out. Light goat and horse blanket.”

Cherry aroma is light; wood, hay, leather, smoked black tea. Cherry, wood, and leather, all prominent in flavor. Sourness is bracing but not overly harsh; lingering spice, drying tannins. Rich, complex, unique.

**Aroma:** “Medium cherry note that is thick and bold with a slight sweetness. Sweet and tart cherry character is very present in the nose with some floral, earthy, tea-like notes.” **Flavor:** “Moderate cherry note with very little sweetness and a hint of spice. The beer has a nice drying character after the start with some subtle tartness that’s mild but cleansing. Moderate carbonation is well-balanced with the tartness, and the linger is not too dry or too sweet. The acidic tartness helps to finish the beer out with a nice carbonation that leaves the beer a little warming.” **Overall:** “Moderate tart cherry notes with a good balance of carbonation. As it warms, a nice herbal note emerges. Very juicy, sweet cherry character with dry finish. The flavors worked well together and blended well. Not very bold for a sour but works well and enjoyable—an approachable sour.”
