Cherry Sour

◎ Appearance

Deep red in the glass with exceptional clarity and a delicate pink-tinted head. The foam shows fine Schaumhaftung, clinging to the glass in gossamer patterns. Light carbonation rises steadily, characteristic of a properly kettle-soured wheat ale.

◌ Aroma

Ripe cherry dominates the nose with pronounced fruitiness, supported by a subtle almond-stone mineral note that suggests the pit's subtle aromatics. The lactic character is restrained, allowing the stone fruit to lead without aggressive funk or vinegar notes. Wheat provides a soft, grainy undertone that grounds the composition.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with crisp tartness that engages immediately, balanced seamlessly by the cherry's natural sweetness. Mid-palate reveals soft wheat body and smooth texture, with the fruit character sustaining through to the finish without becoming cloying. Gentle bitterness—minimal at 4 IBU—allows the sour and cherry notes to define the beer's character.

◑ Finish

Clean and dry, with cherry and lactic notes fading to a whisper-soft fruity aftertaste. The finish is refreshing and complete, inviting another sip.
