(Draught) Pours a clear amber body with a moderate off-white head. Aroma of cherry, grass, citrus, and faint horseblanket. Flavor of cherry, herbs, brett, earth, some lacto, and grass with a dry finish.

amber pour, Aroma is sour stone fruit, some light barnyard, lightly acetic. Mouthfeel is crisp, refreshing. Flavor is funky cherry fruit, lightly sour, Extremely drinkable. I really dig this actually, not super sour but really drinkable and relatively funky with good subtle fruit, if this came out in 6 packs I would pound it down. Harpoon is seriously stepping up

Draft sample at FOBAB 2010. Pours a cloudy brown color with a faint red tint and small eggshell white head. Notes of cherries and other berry fruits, lactic acid, oak, sour lemon juice, and funk. Dry finish. Light-bodied, with sharp carbonation and a sour mouthfeel. Sour, tart, and fruity. Pretty good.

Pouring at session one of Belgian Beer Fest in Boston. Pours a hazed brown with a thin white head. Soft acid, faint fruit and cherries. A bit of sourness and tangy cherry. Soft musk and sourness, light acid on the finish. Decent.
