Bottle from the lcbo. Hazy pi k pour with a quickly dissipating white head. Aroma has some solid lactic notes, good tartness light fruit, floral, light vinegar. Mouth feel is nice, carb is lively. Finish is very tart, actually quite sour, with some tropical fruit finish. Light guava, grapefruit and subtle barrel.

750ml (thx, Phill!) @ Salesforce. Appearance: hazy pale golden with a white head. Aroma: a lot of cherries and honey. Still. Whoa. Taste: along the same lines, lots of cherries and cherry pits. Acidity is still here, but it's overpowered by other falvors. Overall: pleasant.

Pale, and a bit of haze. Bubbly head. The aroma drops some floral honey and a bit of that cherry. It's got a hit of cherry up front, then it heads a bit of tartness, and again some floral notes. This definitely gets tart in the finish, but it's not bad.

2019 bottle. 750mL bottle, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has a nice honey character, gentle funk, and light cherry. Flavour has a nice semi-fermented honey character, barnyard funk, a touch of chamomile, and a touch of cherry. Lots of honey and funk that works well together. Acidity is pretty low, which is appreciated. Very good.

Pale. Relatively flat. Has some vinegar notes, barrely, some stone fruit but this is quite esoteric, weird even.

375ml bottle [6.4% abv]. Clear, ruby colour with small, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, off-white to beige head. Mildly funky, minimally bretty, fruity and woody, slightly tangy aroma, notes of cherry, morello, oak, blue grapes, a touch of bramble, blueberry, plum, whiffs of mustard seed, black pepper. Taste is slightly dry woody, tart-ish fruity, slightly tangy, notes of cherry, morello, hints of bramble, blue grapes, oak, a touch of plum, black pepper and mustard seed. Slightly oily, watery texture, slightly astringent, simultaneously minimally greasy palate, medium, scattered, prickly carbonation. Complex and harmonious - wonderful!

Dull amber, no head. The aroma has pumpkin, nutmeg, and it seems like it'�ll be tart. On the palate, it'�s tart, with vanilla, mild spice, some caramelized pumpkin (I guess brown sugar + pumpkin). The tartness is balanced off by a fair bit of sugar. I give it a second pour and receive a truly remarkable amount of sludge. But overall, this isn'�t bad. On paper, it'�s one of the more egregious things I'�ve had in a while, but in the glass it seems perfectly reasonable. That'�s a big win for Small Pony.

Poured from 473mL can (thanks Nico). Hazed orange with minimal white head. Aroma has a hint of nail polish. Taste is better, still fairly acidic, touch of oak, rose hips and hibiscus in the background. If the sourness was toned down, would enjoy it more, but okay. It does grow on you as it warms up, sip slow.
