500mL bottle, pours a cloudy reddish amber with a small white head. Nose is full of funky brett, rustic saison yeast, and some tart cherries. Flavour is full of tart cherries, gentle wild bugs, and rustic saison yeast. Fruity and buggy, with a crisp rustic finish. Excellent.

This lager poured a golden yellow colour with a creamy, white head. Nice lacing. Scents include corn, biscuit and anything bland. First swig was slightly sharper in carbonation than expected from typical lager. Flavours of corn, malt and straw most prominent. Finish is kinda bland… corny malt flavours lingering.

This IPA poured a hazy medium amber colour with a creamy, off white head. Scents include citrus, a little grass and malt. First swig was nice and smooth with mild carbonation. Flavours of citrus being orange, grapefruit, tangerine and a little marmalade. Finish is a wee bit sweet with citrus flavours lingering.

This stout poured a deep black colour with a brown, creamy head. Nice lacing. Scents include smoke, mild cocoa and molasses. First swig was smooth and creamy with flavours of burnt malt, light smoke, coffee and minimal cocoa. Finish is nicely burnt with coffee flavours lingering forever.

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.
