Aged atop cherry pomace for nearly 3 months.
Released 19 June 2019
Packaged 20181213
Ages ago, our dear friend Bim Lafontaine traveled from Japan to brew with us the inaugural batch of Brother Soigné, a collaboration that we continue to produce in the spirit of that visit.
A small portion of a subsequent batch was aged atop cherry pomace for nearly 3 months. The result honors both the legacy of that first brew day and the satisfaction of exploration.

Bottle. Cherry is bold, earthy and lingering tart. Lime and orange are present throughout. Light acid with that Brother S mixed culture situation going on. Tart without a question.

750mL bottle at the brewery, 5/21/25.
Touch of haze, in a deep copper-rose-bronze. Small, pink-tinged head steadily to ring.
Cherry is still bright, with tart and earthy orange and a nip of lime. Bright, tart, somewhat acidic, with rustic grains behind it and excellent house cultures delivering mineral and very mild Brett.
Tart lime and earthy, leathery blood orange. Zesty acidity but calming down via wheat and lightly sweet cherry notes. Good grain character giving interesting texture. Lots of Sacchs. with very mild Brett. Still retains much of the bright, robust character of the base beer without being too dried out and oaked by the aging, which I think is important for this beer.

Bottle. Pours a hazy orange ruby with medium off white head that lasts. The aroma is strong cherry skin, lime zest, oak. Thin body, cherry juice, strong floral, light oak, very nice tartness, enjoyed this.

Power tasting at Phill's, bottled 13dec2018
Hazy golden colour, with grape skin hue, no head. Fruity and sour aroma. Sharp acidity, that blends well with the fruit, whatever it is, tannins, enough complexity.
Very enjoyable.

750ml (thx, Eric D.!) on Phill's deck. Appearance: hazy peach with a white heae. Aroma: HF funk with some barrel and 🍒 notes. Taste: along the same lines with citrusy notes, some 🍒. Moderately to high acidic. Overall: pretty good.

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy peachy pink with a small white head. Aroma brings lots of stone fruits, gentle funk, cherry, and some woodiness. Flavour is very tart, with lots of cherry pits, a bit of wild yeast, moderate acidity, and wood. Very sour on the cherries and the complexity isn't all that high. Pleasant stuff.
