We are living in strange days right now... so it's only fitting that I enjoy a tip and sip from a company of "strange fellows"...
I love the old school wood print style of the label. Reminds me a lot of the German cookie embossers my parents had when I was a kid. There is a marvelous balance of the black, white, and red colours- with the red being used to make the name of the brew pop just enough to catch your eye, but not so much that it distracts from the rest of the design. A simple, but pleasing design overall.
Strange Fellows Brewing's Hedgerow Sour Cherry Wild Ale has a beautiful red colour to it- with just a slight wild haziness to it. I love how it almost matches the red on the label.
I've never been a huge fan of cherries, but this drink made me rethink my general dislike. The first sip was a nice, but firm handshake to my taste buds. It balanced out a nice sour flavour with the naturally sweet taste of cherries. Neither aspect overpowered the other. It was a nice blend that continued throughout the experience. It was both refreshing and relaxing at the same time. I was really quite impressed by it. So impressed that when I finished, I actually went to the store, and picked up a couple more bottles for the evening.
If you enjoy sour tastes, and cherries, I suspect that you'll enjoy the fine blend of the two in this Strange Fellows brew. Next time I see it, I will be picking up a couple of bottles to enjoy again. A firm "Good" from me.
