Avalonia: Cherry focuses firmly on one of our favorites and a true classic in realm of fruit refermentations in beer. A blend of tart Balaton and Montmorency are complimented by a light addition of dark, sweet cherries.

Draft at Fox Farm. Brilliant red colored with pinkish top. Nose is thick wild cherry and hint of farmhouse funk. Tatses of cherry, red wine, lemon, cheesy funk, horse blanket. Tannic and some sweet notes. Funky finish lingers

Armsby draught, 10/8/25.
Good clarity in the bright, cherry red liquid. Big, pink, well-retained head.
The nose has plentiful, real cherry though it's very acidic. Would like a bit more soft, rounded character. Light funk behind it with a touch of oak.
A bit more easygoing in the mouth though it's still full-on cherry brightness. Not as acidic on the finish. The cherry is magnificent and complex with just a touch of sweetness. Ample texture and attenuation. Further softens/rounds as it breathes and warms.

On tap at the Grand Delancey. Pours deep red. Cherry, almond, acid, strong funk, manure, white chocolate covered dried cherries, sweet lingering cherry pie filling. Medium body. Very good.

Bottle thanks to William. Pours a cloudy ruby with small off white head. The aroma is strong cherry skin, oak, funk, spice. Medium body, jammy, sweet cherry, light funk, nice tartness, enjoyed this.
