500ml bottle pours out cherry flesh color topped with a small head. Nose is tart cherries barrel funk notes and some sweetness. Taste is more of the nice sweet cherries tart sour barrel funk and a nice end.

From Nate: pours orange with a white head. Aroma is lemon, cherry, funk. Taste is fruity and sour. Taste does not have as much cherry as one would expect, in fact, it seemsd a little more citrusy. Body is velvety and smooth. Lively aftertaste.

500ml bottle. Pours orange. Pear, lemon, orange, very floral, bit of a funky oaky thing. Medium body. Really tart finish. Nice.

500mL bottled Feb 2018, drunk 10/26/18.
Clear, lemony-brass with a rosy hue. Off-white head recedes immediately to nothing.
Wonderful mix of band-aid-like Brett, very light acetic acid, malic acid from the cherry and peppery phenols with strong tannin, very mild but aromatic oak and soft, nutty wheat and biscuit-like notes in the background. No alcohol or flaw, nor any preponderance of acid. Even the cherries which are lovely and aromatic are soft and well-integrated in to the rest of the beer. Was a bit concerned about the acetic acid initially, but this quickly fades, adding just a bit of richness to the acid blend.
In the mouth, it's nicely tart, but not even quite puckering with the acetic acid seen in the nose lingering on the back of the throat, but not feeling sharp or dominant. Cherry and honey-like malt notes are strong with mild oak, strong Brett and lingering funk and mild-to-moderate acidity. Lemon, oak, pepper, cherry skin and lots of spiciness. No alcohol or flaw. Very nicely attenuated but still showing a supple, soft texture. Very low, but tight carbonation. These guys are killin' it with the farmhouse stuff....
