On tap at Garden Path, pours a clear amber orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out bright barnyard funk, faded tart cherries, hay, and a touch of leather. Flavour is complex, with tart cherries, deep barnyard funk, some leather, hay, and very gentle acidity. Beautiful funk, nice incorporation of the cherries, and everything is very cohesive. Excellent.
