Sour Cherry Tripel
12oz bottle. Surprisingly filtered after having the very cloudy and unfiltered regular sour recently. Pours a clear, bright reddish orange with a frothy and lasting white head. Tart cherries and wild yeast on the nose. Some light new oak notes. Slightly medicinal, but definitely sour. Very light yeasty spiciness. A pleasant earthy funkiness develops as the beer warms. No Tripel to be found on the palate. Wood tannin, tart cherries and plenty of lightly tart wild yeast. Some acetic acid. Just the smallest hint of harsh acetone on the sides of the tongue, but really not all that distracting. Not overly complex, but highly drinkable. Lively carbonation. Lactic towards the end with a very mild stinging, tart finish. Like the other Big Rock sour, insanely drinkable, but far from mind blowing. Thanks Dave!
