Can pour at Tilton, 7/5/25.
Murky, yet still bright cherry-cranberry. Small, pinkish head to edges fairly quickly.
It's all there as advertise in the nose. Earthy, sweet "chocolate" with tart cherry and minimal lactose. Not sugary, somehow. Clean.
In the mouth it's fruity, tart, sweet, but not overly so with good acidity. Earthy, creamy, soft white chocolate dulls the cherry, lactic tartness. Pretty good attenuation leaving it still round for the most part. Not a fan of pastry sours, but this is done well for what it is.
