I picked up one of these up at the Perfect Pour because I read about it on beernews.org. I'm in a saison mood these days, so I figured I'd see how cherry it is. Overall a pretty good beer. Definitely imperial but still drinks very well with no real overpowering alcohol flavor. I particularly enjoyed the subtleness of the cherries. I was anticipating something sweeter, but I'm glad they stuck to the style and made there saison dry. In fact, if the bottle wasn't labeled CHERRY I'm not sure I would have been able to put my finger on the flavor. It has a hint of mild sourness that I can only assume comes from sour cherries.

Below is a picture of the label I pulled from the beernews.org article site.
