Beers similar to U-Pick Cherry

Dark Sour·Canada·6.6% ABV·One of 2 Dark Sours in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share U-Pick Cherry's tart and sour character. A dark wild ale conditioned on cherries, named after the pick-your-own orchards the fruit comes from. Wild fermentation gives an acidity that runs from tart to sharp, and the cherry shows as stone fruit and pit rather than as syrup. Underneath sits a dark malt base with cocoa and light roast, which keeps the fruit from turning simply sweet. Bottled rather than canned, and long in the finish.
