Beer of the Weekend #1,002: Sweet ’n Tart Cherry Sour Ale
The beer of the weekend last weekend was the first from my beer-club seasonal 12-pack: Sweet ’n Tart Cherry Sour Ale, brewed by the Peace Tree Brewing Company of Knoxville, Iowa.
Serving type: 12-ounce can. What looks like “01/06/23” is printed on the bottom, but the day number is smeared.
Appearance: Poured into a tulip. The color is reminiscent of hazy apple juice. A finger of white head dissipates quickly, leaving a skim and collar.
Smell: It is tart and fruity. I get more apple than cherry at first, but then maraschino cherry emerges.
Taste: It is tart and fruity like the aroma. Maraschino cherry emerges slowly, and the beer tastes like a very sweet Shirley Temple. It has some funk to it as well. The sweetness coats the taste buds, lingering long after each sip.
Fun facts about Sweet ’n Tart:
• Style: Cherry sour ale.
• Price: Unsure.
• Alcohol content: 5.25 percent ABV.
• Here is the description via the can and website:
• Ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb! I can’t not think of Dazed and Confused whenever I hear that song.
The Quiet Man’s grade: C.
