Common descriptors are
With this beer, the sourness of the cherries really shines. It helps to balance the sweetness of the malts, producing an easy-drinking beer that, considering its higher alcohol level, could get some people into trouble. The beer pours cloudy and is almost a peach colour with a hint of pink throughout. It has a thick, lasting white head. At first sniff, you notice the malts and a slight hoppy aroma. When drinking, the beer hits hard with the malts up front, but that quickly changes to a slight sour cherry flavour before it dissipates to a clean finish, which begs for another swig. This is one beer that is sure to be popular on patios this summer. - See more at: http://www.ottawacitizenstyle.com/category/food-and-drink/turtle-island-brewing%E2%80%99s-j-p-fournier-revels-in-complex-beers/#sthash.KoVuh9mP.dpuf
