From the brewer

This barrel-aged wild ale is named for our San Francisco neighborhood and pays tribute to the Flanders Red style of beer. Aged in wine barrels, this lightly tart ale is brewed with California Rainier cherries using a house blend of wild yeasts, bacteria and SF sourdough yeast. Pair this complex ale with ripe figs & blue cheese or seafood bouillabaisse.

Who's been drinking this

#2 release
Quite tart, but of a clearly sour-cherry character. Clean finish has some almost-buttery wild yeast funk that really binds this beer together in pie-like glory. Not sure how much I could drink, but it was very nice.
#2 release
Very sour. A nice tart sour. As I drink more, I'm starting to think it might be too much of a sour.
#2 release
Sour taste keeps going. Not bad once you adjust to it
