Tap at Goblet ZG. Hazy ruby body, almost no head. Yeasty, funky, cherry aroma. Cherry, soft taste, without much tartness, bit characterless and a fair bit yeasty. Meh, seems a bit stale, but can be drunk. Though this price is... a no for this.

Shared with the boys at BBT 11/2021. Thin body, quite low carbonation, the bubbles are really missing here. Otherwise it is fully cherry-centered, strong natural cherries. Med-light sourness, light tartness, light sweetness. Light grassy-hay-barnyard funk. Overall showing great promise, but comes across as watery, which is not helped by the lack of carbonation. Good.

Power tasting at Phill's, bottle, vintage 2017
Dark ruby colour; it opens with no sound, it has no head. Strong aroma of cherries. No carbonation; the flavour too is flat, there's very little here, apart some cherry syrup; it's off-dry, and it has some mild off-flavour.
