Tap @ W.O.S.F. Ruby coloured with no head. Aroma of marzipan, berries and wood. The flavour is fruity and dry with notes of wood, cabbage and funk.

Deep bloody body. Pits, yoghurt and light cherry flesh in the nose. Some light phenolic character. Sweet and sour body but finishes fairly puckering. Very lively on the palate with a vibrant character and the way it turns sour at the end is awesome.

@WSF. Garnet color. Slight phenols in the aroma. Strange. Intense and up-front acidity. Wood organisms, rotting organic matter, and pungent.

Tap @ WSF. Pours dark red with no head. Sweet acetone and almond notes. Lots of fresh cherries. Dry, crisp, sparkling, woody, fruity and refreshing. Sour and dry end. Nice one.

Clear red with no head. Aroma of cherry, almond, wood and a little funk. Dry and very tart, acidic flavour with a great aftertaste of cherry and almond.

Poured a murky ruby red color with no head but red stain left on the side of the glass. Aroma of tart cherries, vanilla, oak, cherry pie, and a bit of toasted malt. Taste of sour cherries, pie crust, some vanilla, sticky pie filling, and a sour, wild finish.
