A Note on This Beer

When it comes to packing insane amounts of fruit into a beer, not many breweries can compete with Ohio’s Urban Artifact.

Take today’s Polygraph Midwest Fruit Tart. A single 30 barrel batch of this stuff uses 3000 lbs of cherries! Break it all down, and that works out to around 20 actual cherries for every 12 oz can. 

How bonkers is that?! And, we haven’t even gotten to the real vanilla beans that make this tart treat so lusciously smooth.

Of course, all those cherries don’t actually make it INTO the can. That wouldn’t leave room for the smile-inducing 8.1% ABV. But, ALL of that flavor absolutely does wind up in the beer, and it cascades across the taste buds with each pleasantly puckering sip. 

Every drop is like a spoonful of tart cherry preserves scooped straight from the jar, but in a body that’s surprisingly light, clean, and crisp!

If you’re looking for a beer that brings the fruit flavor — like, REALLY brings the fruit flavor — Polygraph delivers. And that’s no lie. 

Urban Artifact won Best Local Taproom in the 2019 Cincinnati CityBeat Reader’s Choice Awards!

Not sure about this one. It’s drinkable but something is off with the cherry.

Tasted weak and diluted. Nothing too special about it. It's a good refreshing beer at the most.

Super. Great fresh cherry flavor with just the right amount of tartness. Packs a punch at 8%. Trying to not drink these all right away - I want more!

The cherries are super forward. Delicious! Not oversour. Had my tongue slapping around in my mouth. The 8.1% is buried under awesome flavor

I wanted to love this but there just wasn’t enough cherry to this - not bad at all but maybe a bit too built up for me

Great cherry sour with vanilla notes that come through more as it warms up. Really good from start to finish.

Crisp, clean and refreshing. Mild cherry tartness and vanilla comes in on the nose. Can't believe it's 8.1% abv. One of the best sours I've ever had. Drinks like a good champagne with the level of carbonation in it. Wish I bought a few more.

Very acquired taste. Not really into the mix of tastes. Dont really get any cherry out of it and its not sweet or sour enough to really leave a lasting impression on my taste buds.

Few things are better than tart cherries. Whether in a pie or in a beer, you can’t go wrong. This beer delivers.
