Cask at GTMW. Not much carbonation but certainly an awesome beer. Murky cherry brown red. Not much head. A nice sourness, lots of cherry. Smooth and subtle, very nice. Great cherry aroma.

On tap at the GTMW 2011. Pours a reddish color with a tan head. Aroma of tart cherries, vinegar, nice sourness, lemon and other citrus notes. Flavor is sour, lots of cherries and other sourness. Slick palate, really nice carbonation. The base beer is one of my favorite beers of all time and this didn’t disappoint. Great beer.

On tap; pour is murky dark gold with a hint of amber. very modest off white head that does not retain well. The nose is cherry skins, vinegar, and oak. The flavor profile feels a little muted; I would have preferred more cherry on this one; it really takes a back seat to the vinegar, oak, with a hint of butter unfortunately.

Pours amber red. The smell is sour cherries, the taste is a nice cherry tartness and some funk. This is a wonderful beer.

Michigan Brewer’s Guild Summer Festival 2010. Deep ruddy pour with a thin white head. The nose is intensely cherryish. Soft cherry skin and a little bit of cherry bit spiciness. Softly tart with a nice fresh fruitiness. Fresh and very rustic. Lovely soft, juicy tartness. Very complex yet quite approachable. Great stuff.

Draf at MBGSF during RBSG ’10. Pours a murky brown with reddish tint and offwhite head. Nose is sour, great notes of cherries, vinegar and funk, JP style. Roja is great and throwing cherries in it makes it even more tremendous. On taste, very nice acidity that is complimented by the strong kriek notes. Fresh and clean with a great oakiness. This would be a great one to bottle.

Sampled at MBGSF’10 - hazy red, raspberries and cherries. tarrt and tasty. Finishes pretty dry. creamy body. Fresh and incredibly tasty, though a bit undercarbonated.
