Beer Description. I do know people that can pick some of these flavors out. My wife has a palette like that. But after one beer, or wine, your taste buds change. The next one is going to taste different.

quote:
A - gorgeous ruby, copper color. Different hues are picked up when looked at in different lights. Little head and lacing.

S - sweet mother of cherries. Straight up morello cherries all over the hizzy. The usual sour/lambic aromas are present (vinegar, barnyard funk, acidic wine), but it's the cherries that comes through and sets this apart.

quote:
T - boom. Cherries, mang. Tart, puckering vinegary, wine, Pinot, gruner veltliner (comes to mind), oak is there but a little hidden.

M - refreshing, crisp, light champagne-like effervescence. Great lingering finish. For me, not overly sour but perfectly tart.

I can pick up stuff like grapefruit, lemon, orange, coriander, chocolate, coffee, etc. in beer.

No way I could give the kind of in depth descriptions you see from critics though. My reviews would be something to the extent of "lots of citrusy flavors, nice bitterness, clean finish. I like it. You should drink one."
