Draft. Pours an amber bruin body with a faint yellow off white head and strong retention. Light cherries with a hint of tart fruit and skins and faintly sour. Very low acidity and vinegar. Thin with a slightly nutty and grainy drying finish, okay for gaslight.

On draft at the brewery. Props for them to brew this style. Dirty brown color. Tart. Not the best finish, but nice attempt.

UPDATED: MAR 20, 2011 Location: Draft at the Brewpub, 3/19/11

Aroma: The nose is tart and fruity with notes of yeast, earth, and wood
Appearance: This one pours a clear light brown color
Flavor: Tart and fruity like the nose, plus sweetness, a little earthiness, wood, mild spice
Palate: Medium bodied, a little cloying on the mouth, tingly, with a softish carbonation
Overall Impression: This stuff was fairly solid. I don’t have too much to say beyond that, it is not bad but not great either...
