Aged in Okanagan red wine barrels, our Cherry Brett Saison is invigorated by wild yeast strain Brettanomyces and conditioned on local sour Montmorency cherries, inviting impressions of cherry pie and tart pit fruit.

Perfect foam sits on top of a nice lighter cloudy brown-pink body. Deep brett yeast on the nose with funky sour cherry in all the right quantities. Flavour is deep sweet dark cherries, wood funk, brett yeast. Full enough on the mouth. This stuff is really brilliant, so far beyond all the mediocrity I've trying in town lately.

Pink-red colour. Little bit of haze. No head. Aroma is bretty, with light jammy cherry. Has a cherry pit note. The malts are just sort of neutral. Decent brew, nice cherry taste. Would like the brett to kick in a bit more.

On tap at Darby's Gastown, pours a clear golden with a large red-tinged white head. Aroma brings out plenty of brett funk upfront, with cherry notes following and a touch of floral notes. Flavour blends the brett and cherry really nicely, with brett funk and tart cherries acting cohesively and assertively. I really like the addition of cherries here. This is excellent.

Taster at Darby's. Pours a hazy copper with a white head. Aroma is funky, barrel, cherries. Taste is similar with lots of sweet cherries. Very nice.

2019-01-05, corked bottle at Jamie's, 7-3-7-4-15=36
Quite strong cherry character, and the underlying beer is bold too. Final astringency.
Very good, more expressive than the tap sample.
2018-12-19, draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver, 7-3-7-3-14=34
Cloudy light amber colour with red-copper hue. Fruity and sour aroma with notes of acetone. Smooth mouthfeel, some residual sweetness helps the fruit to express itself; but also too yeasty, cheesy, dough-y almost, some interesting Brett, light funk; juicy finish. Balanced and dynamic, but also a bit messy.
