Bottle thanks to Russell. Pours a hazy pink orange with small off white head that lasts. The aroma is cherry skin, oak, funk, yeast. Slick body, sweet cherry, funky, light oak, nice tartness, very nice.

500ml (thx, Eric D.!) @ Phill's. Harvest 2018, bottled in Mar-2019. Appearance: cloudy purple with a slightly rose head. Aroma: tons of cherries, some barrels, cherry stones, some sweetness. Taste: aa lot of cherries, some wood, pleasant tannins, low to moderate acidity, a nice carbo. Overall: very nice.

Vaguely pinkish hue. Thin head. Nice cherry aroma, and a bit of buggy notes in there as well. Lots of that montmorency pie cherry taste, light acidity and bugginess. Good, balanced, tasty.

500mL bottle, pours a cloudy amber with a small beige head. Aroma is complex, with lots of cherries, wild yeast, and oak. Flavour is quite buggy and full of tart cherry pie, with light oak and cherry pie. Buggy, fruity and pie-like. Nothing all that complex or special, but it's very solid.

Bottle at home in Hackney - sourced from the brewery. Pours mostly clear red with a modest, frothy off-white head. Wow, this is a beauty. Lovely fresh, authentic tart cherry character, some quenching acidity, salt, nips of lemon, funky undertones. Light bodied with lively, massaging carbonation. Finishes with restrained juicy cherry, just a touch of earth, more refreshing acidity, moderate oaky dryness, a little fresh minerality. This really is a masterpiece.
