Logs for beers from this brewery

Comparing this to the Zephyros from the day before, this was somewhat less appealing though it is, I think, meant to have a similar flavor profile. The sourness is sharper, more unrelenting, and I don't think I got any interesting hop flavors. Maybe the elderflower in the Zephyros is what made the difference? Or maybe this was just not as well-conceived.

Medium-tart sour base but with a sweet cherry overtone. Not very funky. Cherry is a bit sweeter than I'm used to for this style of beer, so it feels more like a New Glarus-type beer than a regular Kriek. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

So perfectly balanced... Fruit is perfectly balanced by the sour and just that hint of mustiness.
