Bottle. Release 2. Has a nice touch of cherry colour, that pale pink, and it's opaque. No head. On the nose, it has a light bretty and a mellow sweet cherry. On the palate, it has that sweet montmorency pie cherry taste, going as far as cinnamon, and then a bit of dry, woody notes from the foederation. Mellow, balanced and complex...I like what they're doing here.

Pale gold, with just a slight haze. Not much head. Light effervescence. On the nose, there's a fair bit of brett c and some red wine notes. On the palate, similar but the balance is more on the sweet pale malt, the brett less one dimensional (too bad, because I love brett c), and the barrel expression is woodier and less vinous. Interesting, in that respect but also I would have to say enjoyable. When I lived in The Hammer, I used to drive the bench just because it was beautiful. Imagine having a brewery like this to stop at...damn.

Slight haze, a bit of a pinkish accent to an otherwise dull tan beer. Not much head going on. The aroma has a lot of strawberry, maybe a bit of the pinot, and there's a light bretty accent to it as well. It's quite tart, but still fairly juicy with the strawberries in particular. Bretty, nice sour blend. Touch of barrel. Solid brew. Well worth the four bucks I paid (presumably because of its age).

Out of the cellar from early 2020. Hazy pink-peach colour with a white fizzy head that disappears quickly, leaving no lace. Sour cherry nose, not the sweet dessert stuff. Funky earth sourness in the taste with mild fruitiness and hints of tart. Well-brewed, in the same line of their other Grove brews.
