Bottle pour from 3Fold. Medium purple red with no head. Nice balaton cherry character, nice buggy complexity. Quite nice. Aging in the bottle for a while probably softened the acidity.

Purplish colour, with a thin head. Tart, meaty sort of aroma, light cherry. Mild, with nutty cherry pit.

Bottle pour at FHF 2024, pours a cloudy dark red with a small white head. Aroma has some strange cherry character and a strange curry spice-like character — odd. Flavour is better than it smells, with lots of bright cherry pie, a hint of baking spices, and gentle wild yeast. Lots of cherry pie and baking spices. Pretty good.

FHF 2024. Appearance: a bit hazy purple with a rose head. Aroma: cherry bun. Taste: along the same lines, quite acidic. Overall: not my thing.
