Pale pink with slight haze, lots of fruit complexity, light body but nuanced, cherry for sure.

On tap at Garden Path, pours a cloudy rusted amber red with a large white head. Aroma is loaded with deep plum character, gentle blackberries and subdued wild yeast. Flavour is rich on the tart plums, with an impressive pithy jamminess — that's some nice pithy plum jam. Light wild character, but it's the plums that stand out. Maybe the high gravity character is a bit detracting but it's worked in well. Very good.
