Review and Tasting

Sampled on 29/09/2012

Appearance:

(bottled 3-Apr-12) Hazy dark cherry red with quickly fading pale pink head.

Aroma:

Earthy sour cherries and cherry jam.

Taste:

Dry, citric sourness and tart –very tart sour cherry, sour rhubarb and freshly lemon juice. Creamy carbonation.

Aftertaste:

Sweet and sour cherries and lingering bitter yeast. A few aficionados will appreciate and adore this - most will hate.
