Bottle. Pours deep red. Minerally, cherry, light tartness, grain, blackcurrant. Medium body. A little lacking in the complexity of the best Suarez beers. Still very good.

500 ml (2020 - Morello Bottled 02.2021) bottle, not sure where I got it, probably from the brewery or Half Time, 7/11/23. Pours a nice pinkish-purple color with a fizzy light pink head. Herbal and tart cherry. Funk and wood. Bright and delicious.

500mL bottle, 2021, thanks Gene. Bottled Feb 2022, drunk 7/3/23. Clear cherry. Sizeable cherry head. Meaty, good acidity, lots of pit funk. Wow that's really interesting. Vanilla, wheat, oak...funky but also good cleanliness and no alcohol. Deep cherry with meaty acidity and deep spice. Soft, somewhat thin unfortunately. Phenomenally dry. Good cherry tartness but not much cultured character and very little malt depth. It is only 5% but still could be maltier and with more interesting Brett.

750 ml bottle shared by ClarkVV from the brewery, thank you! Nice red color. Aroma is nice funky cherry, oak, funk. Flavor is nicely tart and oaky. Refreshing.
Bottle shared by travlr thanks for sharing. Mostly clear deep brick red with a thin bubbly white head. Sweet cherry with hints of almond and sweet bready malt with earthy light funk and tart. Nice cherry beer

Bottle at home in NH. Picked up from the brewery. Pours a gorgeous, clear red with a creamy, light pink head. Lightly sweet with nose bittersweet cherry, a little bitter pit, sturdy acidity, light jamminess. Light bodied with massaging carbonation. Lightly drying finish, quenching acidity, clean tart cherries. Exceptional.

Bottle from Nate, shared at bottleshare: pours bright red with a white head. Aroma is huge cherry aroma is hints of funkiness. Taste is somewhat sour. Dry finish. Not as yeasty or even as fruity as the aroma. Would have liked it to be more punchy, but this is still excellent. Very effervescent.
