To make ERO IV we took prime mixed-fermentation saison and aged it on passionately foot stomped (not pressed) 2019 Cab Franc skins from Niagara-on-the-Lake. After a solid 5 months of soaking in those gracious grape flavonoids, we aged it for another 30 days on our favourite fruit of all time (ok top 3), righteous ruby of the prunus family, the all powerful Montmorency Sour Cherry.
This beer is Delicious. It’s medium tart with lots, I repeat lots, of sour cherry character. It has great crunchy texture from its repose on Cab Franc skins and it has a bit of spontaneous-esq delight from whatever microbes were present on the skins of the grapes and cherries (very krieky).

Tasting at Matt's, bottle
Hazy red colour. Ass smell, cardboard, cherries. Dry mouthfeel, moderate acidity, strong fruity character, vinous finish, some good elements but medium complexity.

Pale purple and opaque. Lots of vinous notes, some cherry, and it's tart as well. It's got a lot of the cherry. Tart, a bit tannic. The vinous notes are there a bit, but the cherry definitely predominates.

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy bright dark red with a small pink head. Aroma is very buggy, with lots of red wine grape must, tart cherry skins, light barnyard funk, and some oak. Flavour is nicely integrated, with lots of buggy barnyard funk, red wine grape must, and tart cherry skins. Nicely buggy, with a good interplay between the grapes and cherries. Complex and well-designed. Excellent.
