Portland draught, as pictured, 11/8/25.
Dry and chalky with big mineral and well macerated/expressed grape. For all of the fruit it's shockingly low in both sugar and acid. Soft cherry meat on the end with light oak and vanilla.
Cherry and peppery raspberry. Juicy, light, fruity, flavorful and with a malty but attenuated body. Just enough acidity. Somehow not too fruity. Reminds me of First Fruits which is high praise. A real gem. Nice and dry.

Slightly hazy reddish-orange pour with a medium off-white head that diminishes quickly to an outer ring. Sparse strings of lace. Vinous grape and cherry aroma with some yeast and malt in the background. Medium body with flavors of white grape, blackberry, sweet-tart raspberry and doughy malt. The finish is mildly tart mixed berries and floral yeast. Good beer all around.
