On tap at Dageraad. Pours murky dull ruby with a pink head. Rich sour cherries and woody oak on the nose. Flavour has a really deep cherry character, good amount of tartness, some acidity, and an earthy, woody character. Great depth and complexity.

Nice deep pink body and pretty good light pink foam. Big tart cherry on the nose, fresh and intense but just a little too soft. Taste is big cherry with soft maltiness and cinnamon behind it, but finishes way too wet and subdued. Still, some excellent things going on here.

750mL bottle, pours an opaque red with a small white head. Nose brings out lots of fresh, gently tart cherries, and a bit of wild yeast. Flavour is loaded with intense, gently tart cherries, with some vanilla, even a touch of cinnamon, and light oak. Love those cherries—lots of depth without being too sour. Excellent.

Clearish pink with a decent white head. Sweet and spicy cherry notes. Nice light spicy pit and sweet dark cherry notes. Solid.
