This fruited Belgian ale was aged in chardonnay barrels followed by a massive addition of sour cherries from the Niagara region. It is more tart than sweet with a great balance of fruit and funk.

Funky, tangy olfactory, with cherries prominently. Perceived woody notes. Acid but sweet aromatic profile. The liquid is orange pink and is covered with a white moss with a pink complexion, quite creamy and rather persistent. Cherries occupy most of the taste palette, supported by a woody background and a slight heat of alcohol. The funky is soft with some notes of old farm with ammonia tips that are not a defect but are an integral part of the funky. Carbonation and body are moderately low with a rather creamy texture. The taste of alcohol is rather low but its heat is well felt. A beer better than its rating indicates. A more appropriate ranking in wild or funky beers would have been more advantageous. Olfactif funky, acidulé, avec les cerises en évidence. Notes de boisé perçues. Profil aromatique acidulé mais doux. Le liquide est rosé orangé et se couvre d’une mousse blanche au teint rosé, assez crémeuse et plutôt persistante. En bouche, les cerises occupent la majeure partie de la palette gustative, soutenues par un fond de boisé et une légère chaleur d’alcool. Le funky est doux avec quelques notes de vieille ferme relevant des pointes d’ammoniac qui ne constituent pas ici un défaut mais font partie intégrante du funky. La carbonatation et la corpulence sont moyennement faibles sur une texture quand même assez onctueuse. Le gout d’alcool est plutôt faible mais sa chaleur se fait bien sentir. Une bière meilleure que sa note ne l’indique. Un classement plus approprié dans les bières sauvages ou funky lui aurait été plus avantageux.

After having their Blueberry Pi which was a wild ale, was expecting some sourness as cherry and sour go well together. Nope. Noticed it had multiple hops, but was not expecting hoppiness with the fruit. Hazy red-amber colour with a bigger frothy head, pinkish-amber coloured with decent retention and nice thick foamy lacing. Mild cherry notes, not too sweet, with some orange notes from the hops. The taste is hoppy before fruity. Bitter, fairly dry. Yeah, was not expecting this, but a little better than the Blueberry Pi.

Draft - Sweet jammy and sour cherry. Cloudy pink with a decent white head. Light soured cherry and a dry finish. Solid.

Very nice stuff. Florals, big cherry feel. Pink pour with good head and lacing. Light tangy sweet finish. Tap at volo.
