Coolship Cerise’s tart, dry profile is rounded out by notes of fresh-picked cherry, pie spice, oak, and a hint of apricot. To make this beer, we fill our coolship—a large, shallow pan-like brewing vessel—with unfermented wort that gathers wild yeast as it cools. The beer then ferments and develops its flavor in oak wine barrels for up to two years before we add 100 pounds, per barrel, of locally grown Montmorency and Balaton cherries. We hope you enjoy this balanced, crisp, and complex taste of Maine.

Bottled. An unclear golden beer with no head. The aroma has notes of lacto, brettaomycs, and straw. The flavor is sour with notes of lacto, malt, and straw, leading to a tart finish. Thanks madsberg for sharing.

Tasting at Papsø
Cloudy blond color. The aroma is sour, puckery, with dirty feet, cheese, ass, dung; good or bad? Pleasant in the beginning, suspicious a few minutes later. High carbonation, good sour flavor, lemony, with very light cherry presence, kernels, evident astringence. The final reminds bitter lemon peels. It still has to aspire to the elegance of a true Belgian beer, but the idea of brewing a strong beer is interesting, and the wild fermentation works quite well (besides some minor flaw).
But, surely, a beer to try.

Bottle 37,5 cl. Courtesy of madsberg. Pours a cloudy and opaque golden with no head. Amazing aroma of Brett and barnyard - wauw, so Belgian in style. Medium body, tart fruits, lots of barnyard and Brett. Dry finish. Lovely. 230410

Hazy yellow with a medium white head. Sour aroma with wheat, lacto, barnyard and woody notes. Flavour was sour with cherries, almonds, hints of leather and wood. Finished proper sour. Not bad.
