murky chestnut, thin white ring head. Dry nose is dusty, honey and toast with light brown sugar and sweetened cherry lactic acid. Flavor is thin, lime becomes tea mid before biting sourness finishes. Thin, odd mixture throughout, light buteric bile with warmth.

750ml bottle gushed bad, then finally pours a muddy brown with some frothy, white head. Nose is a little muddled, some vanilla, burnt caramel, a little vegetal, some cherry. Flavor is also muddled, malt, light tartness, medicinal, some dried cherry. Medium bodied, lightly tart finish.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
<<<GUSHER WARNING>>> 750mL b1 thanks to a generous BA. Exploding out of the bottle hard, complete mud pour, beige overcarbonated head erupting, weak retention. Looks not good. Nose is convoluted, nothing very bright or forward. Eventually some vanilla and creme brulee comes forward with dark chocolate cocoa powder. Taste is just not doing it- soda water, vanilla, some tangy red wine. Unfortunate for a brewery that has extremely high standards.

Bottle shared by GT2. Gusher that pours cloudy brown with a small, fizzy off-white head, short retention with spare lacing. Aroma is raspberry and cherry with straw and biscuit malt, earthy hops. Flavor is tart berries, light malt and toast notes with light spicy hops and a dry finish. Medium body and carbonation.
2.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle courtesy of GT2, thanks! Gusher. Muddy brown color, thin tan head. Aroma of sour and nutty plums. Taste is softly sour and slightly boozy dark fruit.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a brownish red. Very cloudy. Sort of a muddy look. Small off-white head that dissipates quickly. Not a very thick layer of foam to start, anyway. Lots of funky cherries in the aroma. Tends more toward fruit sweetness than Cerasus. The funk is a bit odd, sort of cheesy. Mild medicinal note. Some tannic woodiness. The taste is a nice tart cherry flavor, but it’s a bit washed out and doesn’t quite pack the punch that I was hoping to find. It’s not super sour, though I wouldn’t call it sweet. The finish has more of that tannic oak flavor. Mouthfeel is nice, though I’d prefer it to be a bit creamier and less fizzy. So far, this is my least favorite Logsdon beer, but my expectations have grown so much with each beer that it’s probably not a terribly fair scale. Still, I probably won’t be picking up any more bottles of this beer. On the other hand, I’d be happy to get a glass at a bar.

4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottle thanks to Seth. Cloudy brown ale with an off white head. Caramel malt aromas. Not overly tart and somewhat sweet with red apple and caramel malt highlights. Good balance and carbonation. Well done..
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
750mL from Beermongers.
A: Cloudy red with a topographical rusted head. No legs to speak of.
N: Yeast laden cherries. Very oaky. Black peppercorn, and intense florals such as chamomile. Some funky bleu cheese and new leather.
T: Nice sourness level. Hints of cherry and oak. Lemon tartness. Leather and leaves. Some sulphuric acid/acetone. Snappy, but not complex.
M: Well carbonated and alcohol is hidden. Saison character which I don’t think is a great thing in a Flanders style ale.
O: A solid beer and worth trying. Needs additional complexity to shine, but I will say it was better than its older brother Cerasus which actually has the cherries in it.
