Still looking to bottle this week sometime.

I tasted the first batch. There is a distinct medicine-like taste to this that is likely due to pitching the yeast while the wort was too hot. The plain portion may calm with age, but the cherry extract portion is just far too much like robitussin. Lesson learned on that one. The plain portion will be okay I think, and even if not, it will make good beer brats.

I tasted the blonde ale last night after final testing and it is a little sharper than last time, but I am really looking forward to how it tastes after carbing and also to see how the chili experiment works out.
