Boulevard's Tell-Tale Tart

The next offering from the Great Eight variety pack. I've gotten to be quite a fan of the sour beers lately. Goose Island has had a few on the market for several years, but they seem to be the new fad. Tell-Tale Tart pours a coppery red, with a small finger and a half head. The tartness is not overwhelming, and would be a nice introductory ale for the neophyte. In addition to the sour tartness, there is some cherry notes, with perhaps some strawberry as well. As it attains room temperature there is a suggestion of sour apple as well. Honestly, I've had better sours, but this one could be a great "gateway" tart ale.
