Our latest is with Montmorency and Balaton cherries! We added equal parts of each variety to Grisette-style beer at a ratio of about 1.25 pounds per gallon. Our goal was to make a very drinkable beer, low in acidity, with present but not overwhelming fruit character. With an emphasis on balance and drinkability, we primary-fermented the Grisette in stainless steel for a few weeks, then added the cherries for secondary fermentation in stainless as well. Our intent is for our fruited-Grisettes to be enjoyed fresh, while the fruit character is still vibrant and the fermentation character is "clean".

Cherry Grisette is 5.3% abv. It's unfiltered, unpasteurized, and 100% naturally conditioned.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Yoav's place. Pinkish gold. Brett, grainy, faint cherries, floral, soapy note, slightly sourish, a bit bland.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a hazy pink with medium off white head leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is strong cherry skin, wheat, mineral, oak. Slick body, sweet cherry, wheat, oak, light tartness, very nice.
