Epic Brewing (Utah) Brainless on Cherries

Epic Brainless on Cherries, Salt Lake City, Utah, Belgian-style Golden Ale, blended with pureed cherries, aged in oak barrels.

Ripe crimson coloring, clear at the bottom, big pink end, slims down a modest ring.

Delicately sweet and sour cherry aroma, soft and fruity. Pleasant.

Soft and creamy in the mouth, as well. Nice, moderate bitterness, and the cherry flavor is mild, as well. It's there, but not as bold as in a Kasteel Rouge, or most Belgian kriek lambics.
 (I picked this one for Battle of the Belg #3, back in mid-October, to go up against Kasteel Rouge, and I knew it was going to lose. Real cherries in quantity, vs. puree? Sorry.)

Good malty flavor, Belgian yeast, and a touch of the oak. Tartness hangs in here, fruit stays quiet, but never leaves.

Tasty stuff, nice effort, but for the price they ask, it simply doesn't stack up against the best Belgian fruit ales out there.

And I still don't understand how they thought "Brainless" was a good name for a beer. Maybe there's a good story, that I haven't heard?
