Pours with a dull pale brown colour, a bit murky and not much head. On the nose, it's got a lot of deep vinegary depth, good cherry, and barrel notes. Goes deep on the barrel. The fruit balances well in the finish. --- Beer merged from original tick of Red Poppy Grand Cru on 03 Apr 2026 at 21:52 - Score: Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 7.5 | Flavor - 7.5 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 7.5. Original review text: I had this at a tasting - I specifically brought it back from The Church, so I wasn't the only one in Vancouver that had this. Apparently it didn't map correctly? I consulted the spreadsheet download and there were no notes. I have a star rating and remember it didn't blow my mind.

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy rusted reddish brown with a medium beige head. Aroma brings out plenty of tart cherries, light balsamic, and Worcestershire sauce. Flavour is quite tart, with very tart cherries, lots of Worcestershire, and, again, a touch of balsamic. Lots of Worcestershire here. Not all that complex and too acetic for me. Meh.

Some haze, and thin head. Lots of saaz…haha got some butter creeping in there or just aggressive saaz? Right at my threshold. Good malt, lots of biscuity stuff.

750ml pours a clear garnet amber. Nose has the grapes and some barrel and some funk, band aid, cherry, pomegranate. Flavors same. Tart and funky finish with just the right amount of booze.
