(750ml 2020 bottle from the cidery webshop) Pours clear deep blush to pink with a thin white head that disappears without lace. Aroma of sweet and lightly tart perfumed cherry, Montmorency vibe with tones of cinnamon and marzipan, crushed flowers, clear sweet pear flesh too, strawberries, softly barnyard-inflected mulchy funk, slight seam of acetic acid. Flavour is semi-sweet up front, pears showing first before floral and lightly sweet cherry flesh builds in the middle of the sip along with some strawberry, smooth cinnamon tones quite prominent and playing nicely with the pear towards the finish, soft marzipan bitterness, light to moderate lactic/acetic zippiness into the finish as well. Pear and Montmorency spicebox aftertaste. Light bodied, soft but prickling carbonation. An amalgam of the fruit inputs as expected, nicely balanced and not overly tart, good expression of the cherry and pear with the strawberries a nice accent. Very pleasant.
