West Sixth Brewing Co Tart Cherry Crumble

What the brewers say

“Cherries, cinnamon, vanilla, and lactose.”

What our panel thought

“Pleasant rounded aroma with vanilla, berry, and a bit of cinnamon spice. The flavor is a baker’s delight—mellow Chinese cinnamon, Door County cherries, pillowy vanilla—giving the impression of pie. Restrained, but packed with flavor.”

What our editors thought

“Cherry-pie nose replete with crust, vanilla, and touch of cherry milkshake. The sip isn’t as sickly sweet as the nose suggests; tart cherry does the heavy lifting, while more aromatic notes fade into the background. A drinkable strategy for the style.”
