5th August 2017
The great pre GBBF bottleshare at ChrisO’s. Very hazy pinkish - peach colour beer, tidy pale peach colour head. Palate is light, dry and finely crisp. Very tart raspberry, some lemon acid backing it up. Light floralness,. Pippy raspberry bitterness. Light finish. A bit of shock at first but then it settles down.

750ml capped bottle.
Bottle conditioned so I see some sediment in the bottle.
It pours a cloudy red brown with not much of a head of foam even with a vigorous pour. Lacing is minimal.
Smells of sour cherries, wood, tannins from the wine barrel. And cinnamon.
Sour cherries taste, tannins really dry it up, woody notes. Hints of vanilla, and growing presence of cinnamon.
Pretty light bodied, adequate carbonation.
Nice sipper. Not because it’s strong. You know. Them sour beers...
