This IPA poured a clear, golden colour with a creamy, bright white head. Nice lacing. Scents include grass, citrus, corn and malt. First swig was quite hoppy. Flavours of grassy hops with also a nice citrus touch at the end. Finish is bitter with grassy hops lingering.

650mL bottle, pours a deep dark reddish brown with a small beige head. Nose is complex, with lots of gently tart cherries, light balsamic, lots of oak, and a touch of wild yeast. Flavour reveals moderately tart cherries upfront, accentuated by light-to-moderate sweetness, plenty of oak, and a touch of balsamic. Seems more like a Flemish Red to me with cherries. The ABV is well-contained. Excellent.

Deep dirty maroon with a small beige head. Sweet, light nailpolish and cherry. Soured cherry, bitterness and a weird aftertaste. Not quite there.
