Anni Ale 13irteen

I know I could look up how long ago was Short's 13th anniversary but this beer has to be 4 years old. Pours clear with a covering of off-white to light tan foam that covers, in spite fo being a vigorous pour. The foam sprints away leaving retention behind. Aroma of cherry tartness. Not much going on at this point: one dimensional. Taste is subdued up front before tart cherries and tea take over midway, building to the finish leaving a tart/sour bitterness in the mouth that lingers. Hints of wood and floral early. Light body with a stiff carbonation. Dry. Sour. The nose is very one-dimensional. The taste is a bit more complex but doesn't save the beginning of the senses. An interesting beer and concept but not one that wows or makes me want to have another; finishing one was difficult enough. Enjoy!
