Bottle from the brewery online shop. Appearance - amber with thin cream lacing. Nose - very faint cherry and mainly malt. Taste - mainly brown bread but also light glace cherry on the finish. Palate - light bodied, dry finish. Overall - ok but where's the cherry.

Bottle thanks to Ashton McCobb. Pours clear amber with a thin white head. Aromas of cherry and sucrose. Taste is more of the same. Sweet finish. Then weirdly dungy.

330ml bottle from the brewery. Poured a murky reddish amber colour with a big, lasting, fizzy off-white head. The aroma is yeast and big cherries. The flavour is moderate to light sour, with a light, crisp, yeasty, mineral, red berry fruit palate. Medium bodied with average to lively carbonation. Drinkable, but rough around the edges and wonโt win any awards.

Almost clear reddish amber beer, tidy pale tan head. Airy palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Light malts. Zero sourness. A light and pleasant ripe cherry vibe. Minstrel hops bring a spicy bittermess here, which dominates the light cherry. Light finish leaves a spicy bitter linger. Tidy but quite hoppy for the style.
