Draught pint at the brewpub, with Muzzlehatch on 11/4/05. Pours a hazy, fiery orange and amber-auburn colored beer, with a small, fairly well-retained off-white head that recedes to cover fairly rapidly, with light lacing. Aroma has lightly tart cherry pie, a lemon candy-like note and a smooth, drying wheat note on the end. Flavor shows lightly acidic cherries balanced by light honey and a bit of sweet breadiness. Yeast is rather thick, while the wild yeast adds a clean, if rather subdued tartness. Wheat gives a light chewiness to the texture, but the mouthfeel might be a little bit too easygoing on the end, being a draught beer. Some peaches, cherries and plums, with a hint of woody-like flavor and more yeast. No alcohol apparency. Rather subdued overall. I wasnt paying too much attention to the beer for the first two-thirds of it and looked up to see it almost gone. By that point, I hadnt come away with much other than the fact that I was drinking some cherry beer infused with small amounts of brett. Perhaps just a little too simple in its flavors, with too weak a mouthfeel.

does not count  Feb 17, 2008 As a girl we loves fruit and funk in her beer I can’t help but adore this. I’d write more but I haven’t had this in about four months and I’m going of memory.

Jan 2, 2008 In short: A very sweet syrupy cherry beer. Acceptable sipper even if not my style of beer.
How: Tap at brewpub december 2007
The look: Clear red body with a little off-white ring of foam
In long: Cherries and sweetness are the two dominant flavours here. I was extremely surprised to see the ratebeer commercial description mentioning “…fermented with Brettanomyces…”. I really didn’t get any brett notes at all. The beer felt like a sweetened fruit salad with extra extra cherries. Some cheese notes (yeast?). Alcohol apparent. Syrupy body. A sipper. Usually I find very sweet fruity beers as interesting as a romantic comedy starring Meg Ryan. While not quite my type of beer I found this one as interesting as a romantic comedy starring Meg Ryan rated R for nudity and scenes of sexuality.

Nov 4, 2007 BBF 07. Pours a slightly hazy light woody brownish amber with a nice fluffy tight head. Aroma is brett, farmhouse funk, lot sof earthy and phenolic tones, and moderate amounts of old cherries- some wood and vanilla. Flavor is moderately sweet and syrupy with some slight artificial-like cherry, modest dirty funk, with a decent tartness in the end. Too earthy and dirty for me- too much going on and nothing was very good. Better than the Bachus at least.

Nov 1, 2007 Pours a hazy orange/red with a sudsy white head. Some cherry notes in aroma and flavor, but nothing else worth writing about. This is what I wrote. Sorry Clark for the crappy review, but this is all I wrote and can remember. Tick..Tick..
