2022 edition. 7.1% abv.
Not clear amber, near cherry coloured, small head of foam that shrinks quickly, still leaves some lacing.
Smell is very tart cherries, somewhat acetic, noticeable Brettanomyces.
Taste follows the nose. Very tart cherries, super dry, puckering, acetic, funky, just really nice.
Light mouthfeel.
Very nice sour.

Pours clear blonde. Medium, stable white head. Scent is creamy, Amlam, wood, bit buttery. Very citrussy. Cherry absent in both color and aroma. Taste is sharp, intense sourness. Fruity backbone, not very cherry like. Lovely, actually. Very amlam-forward, but in this case, it works and is actually lovely.

Grand Delancey: pours pinkish red with small head. Aroma is cherry and mostly funk and tree. Taste is like a tart cherry soda with an element of woodiness. Quite good. Very mellow and light.

750 ml bottle from Tavour, 2/13/20. Pours an unclear pinkish-orange color with a fizzy head. Aroma is wood, funk / brett, cherries, and lemon. Bright, funky and fruity flavor. A little tart, mild sweet. Really balanced. Great drinkability. Pretty tasty. 8/4/8/4/16

(On tap) Hazy golden with small white head. Wonderful aroma. Cherries, sour lactobacillus, and a lovely wood oaky note. Lovely palate - medium body with fine bright carbonation. Amazing taste too - sour, of course, with a great balance of fruit, sour and woody notes. Very impressive.
