On tap at Chuck’s Greenwood, pours a cloudy orange amber, no head. Aroma has tart cherries, some farmhouse notes, and a touch of oak. Flavour is fairly acidic, with intense tart cherries, oak, some wild beast, and some earthiness. The acidity is rather bracing but there’s undeniable complexity. Good but a bit harsh.

Single from Press online. Christmas-ish 2024 delivery. Must of gotten a can from the bottom of the crate to be rewarded with a different batch.

Pint glass at home. Hazy pale to medium yellow, quick spritz soda head.
Mellow plum, sweet pear & browned apple nose.
Bittersharp, grainy, leaning sweet. Light pineapple twang. Grape skin. Bittersweet secondary tannins, like suddenly getting to the middle of a blow-pop. Yeasty & softly floral finish. Lemony, lingering tang.
Complimenting acid, carbonic, a touch sulfite-y, strong & welcoming.

Good.

Pear cider with some apples sneaked in.
Single pounder can from Press online. Months spent on the basement shelf before cooling in the fridge a week before hitting my pint glass.

Hazy pale straw, fizzy pour. Lingering soft sounds of bubbly movement an hour after the first pour.
Spice, bubblegum, cider vinegar & honeysuckle nose.
Semisweet, leaning sweet. Heavy grocery pear honey drip with an earthy salinity, medium acidity, apple tartness & a grassy sweet finish.

Okay-ish.

Poured from 473mL can. Clear pale blonde with small white head. Mild nectarine, feint oak, feint funk with a feint hint of glue, really a bit bland and watery all considered. Underwhelming.

Poured from 473mL can. Lightly hazed yellow gold with small white head. Really nice vinous white grape nose, follows through on the flavour with a gentle oak backing, light and quaffable.
