Bottle shared with DownsouthGav @ Hoopers, Camberwell. Dark amber colour with thin off-white head and low carbonation. Aroma is sour fruits, malts, cherries. Taste is funky cherry, slightly metallic, fruity, oak and a little vinegar. Nice sourness but not overly so. Very nice.

Bottle. It pours a lovely, clear, well-carbonated ruby red body with a lasting finger-thick pinkish white head. Cherryish, lemon-sourish aroma with hints of oak. Tart, yet sweetish flavor with cherries and some lemon. Medium, effervescent mouthfeel with palate-cleansing qualities. Cherries, lemon and some sweetness in the finish. So smooth and easy to drink, and wonderfully refreshing. Well hidden alcohol makes it a dangerous one. (080823)

Deep red with barely no head. Strong cherry aroma, wood and a bit vinous. Light bodied, little sweet with a dry end.

Bottle: Poured a deep red color ale with a rather large pink color foamy head with average retention and no lacing. Aroma consists of a load of cherries with some notes of oak. Taste is also a mix between loads of cherries that are sour but also lightly sweet but some light sour and tart notes with some oak presence also noticeable. Full body with some great carbonation and no appearance of alcohol. Very well done and definitely something I wish I could get more often.
