Pale pinkish colour. Some cherry. Pediococcus, in a not fun way. Light body. Acrid. Some cherry in there, too.

Bottle pour at Farmhouse Fest 2025, pours a clear pale peachy pink with a small white head. Aroma has gentle cherry skins, a touch of bugs, and a touch of hay. Flavour has harsh bitterness, light cherry skins, and a touch of bugginess. Some phenols ruin this as well. Bad.

(On tap @ Bar Volo, Toronto, June 26/23) Pours nearly clear orange-red with a thin white head and no lace. Aroma is tart cherries with a distinct spicebox note (nutmeg/cinnamon), a little marzipan, a bit of cereal, light lactic acidity, very soft wood and dusty/leathery Brett. Flavour is fairly dry, lightly acidic and very lightly tart, soft Montmorency cherry with some acidity and the soft spicebox you'd expect, a bit of wood with gentle vanillins, cereal is very retiring, maybe a little apple?, Brett is restrained (hay/leather), light skin tannin, dry finish with a little tart Montmorency lingering. Light bodied, quite softly carbonated. Pleasant along with the mortadella on foccacia but a little lacking in heft and complexity to really stand on its own.
