Cherry trees in bloom and cherry ale from Santa Rosa and Russian River Brewing.

The website describes FF as a “Mildly sour Saison aged in large oak foeders with tart cherries for 6 to 12 months. Distinctive aromatics of cherry, notes of raspberry, strawberry, and rhubarb. Light bodied with medium carbonation, slight sweetness, moderate tartness, and low bitterness, with no astringency.”
The beer pours a cheery rose color with plenty of bubbles initially. Acid and sawdust on the nose. The fruit taste is restrained here letting the oak and tartness take the lead. Reminiscent of the old school sours where the barnyard and the funk was let loose. The sour doesn’t force a pucker, it is more balsamic to me, if that makes sense.
