Through spontaneous innoculation in our Koelschip, followed by a slow maturation in oak barrels, this beer is a true expression of our home in southwest Michigan. Anachronism stands as a unique representation of time and place, reminding us that nothing is permanent, and that is something we all should embrace and appreciate.

Sample from Haandfest 2019. Unclear reddish body under a small off-white head. Aroma has acidic fruit, reminds me more actually more of raspberries than cherry in aroma. Flavor is more cherry, both sweet and sour, nice mild funk, acid, wood and over all quite dry. Nice balance in taste, flavors, body and aftertaste. Wonderful fruit beer.

375 ml bottle into tulip glass, 2016 vintage. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy reddish/pinkish golden/orange/amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy light pink head with poor retention, that reduces to nothing pretty quickly. No lacing, some clinging bubbles and streaming carbonation. Aromas of big sour/tart/tangy red/black cherries, fruit skin/pits, lemon, lime, orange, peach, plum, pear, apricot, red/green apple, red grape/wine, oak, peppercorn, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, and white bread; with lighter notes of leathery/musty/lacto funk, red wine vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of cherries, fruity/funky/acidic/spicy yeast, oak barrels, and moderate pale/wheat malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge sour/tart/tangy red/black cherries, fruit skin/pits, lemon, lime, orange, peach, plum, pear, apricot, red/green apple, red grape/wine, oak, peppercorn, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, and white bread; with lighter notes of leathery/musty/lacto funk, red wine vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tartness, fruit tang, and Brett/oak tannin spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy cherries, fruit skin/pits, lemon, lime, orange, peach, plum, pear, apricot, red/green apple, red grape/wine, oak, peppercorn, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread light funk/vinegar, and yeast/oat earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Amazing complexity, robustness, and balance of cherries, fruity/funky/acidic/spicy yeast, oak barrels, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; with a fantastic malt/tartness and tangy fruit balance; with zero puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Moderate increasing dryness from lingering tartness, tangy fruit, and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth and moderately grainy/acidic/tangy/tannic balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol for 6%. Overall this is an amazing fruited sour/wild ale! All around incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of cherries, fruity/funky/acidic/spicy yeast, oak barrels, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the modestly acidic/tangy/tannic/drying finish; not overly lactic. Amazing balance of huge juicy/jammy cherries and Brett/Bacteria complexity; with great oak presence and pale/wheat malt backbone against acidity. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp acidic/tangy dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and top tier quality style example. Best sour I've had from them so far.

Thanks Gregg for sharing the bottle! Taster showing well filtered cherry red with sparse white foam. The nose shows moderately intense tart notes of cherry pie forwardness. The palate is well carbonated and light bodied. Very cherry pie forward and moderately tart with more cherry pie on the finish.
