From the brewer

This beer is inspired by the long and hot summer days in the San Joaquin Valley—the fertile basin that yields much of California’s bountiful produce. This tart blond ale was brewed with Rainier and Bing cherries from Bella Viva Orchards and fermented with our house sour culture and aged for many months in used wine barrels to create a tart, cherry-kissed wild ale.

Golden and puckeringly tart in the way I've come to expect from Almanac. Clean cherry flavor without noticeable funk, although cherry is a fruit that intensifies the sense of sourness (like the citrus beer from the same brewery) rather than playing off of it (like the pluot's butteriness), making it a bit more one-dimensional. So it goes lower on the ranking.
