3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12oz bottle. Poured surprisingly fiery medium reddish-amber with a short-lived beige head. The aroma picked up lots of sweeter cherries and an odd blend of almost buttery malts upfront with a bit of Belgian-y yeast and light biscuit notes behind.. sweet overall, with something off-putting that I really couldn’t put a taste bud on. The flavor found sweet cherry meat and sticky paler malts at the core.. lightly tart cherry skins, seltzer water-like carbonation, and light peppery yeast around.. finished much sweeter than tart on the finish, with more cherries and some welcome, tangy oak. Light-medium bodied and sweeter than I wanted on the palate.. overall it was drinkable, but too sweet and short on complexity.
