Flavour is along the same lines, with light champagne, citrus hops, and crisp biscuity malt. Just a subtle champagne character here, but it works nicely. Very good.

Batch 1. Bottle, purchased at the brewery. Hazy, amber, just a thin head. There's a light cherry note, along with bitterness from pits, and a soft acidity, a fair bit of residual malts. Not bad - I suspect if more sweet cherry came out I'd like it better, but also more fruit complexity.

Tasting at Matt's
Cloudy red-purple aroma. Nice aroma, sour berries and a bit of funk. The body isn't weak, but the mouthfeel is dry; there is a lot of berry juice, but the lack of sweetness doesn't work with berries, and it has a lot of vegetable bitterness.
Messy. Not very pleasant.

750mL bottle, pours a deep dark murky reddish brown with a small off-white head. Nose brings out lots of pithy blackberries upfront, with dirty yeast, and a hint of funk. Flavour is along the same lines, with pithy blackberries and lots of dirty yeast. Pithy and dirty. Not particularly sophisticated, but it's pleasant.
