This Brett Beer presents a sophisticated profile where rustic funk meets the vibrant acidity of wild cherries. Aging in Bordeaux wine barrels contributes a vinous complexity, layering notes of dark fruit, subtle oak tannins, and a hint of vanilla over a bone-dry finish. The sensory experience is defined by an interplay of tart stone fruit and earthy barnyard notes, characteristic of a well-matured Brettanomyces fermentation. The 7.2% alcohol provides a soft warmth, while the high attenuation ensures a crisp, refreshing character that highlights the elegance of the wood and the bright, tangy cherry essence. It is an elegant, fruit-forward wild ale with significant depth and character.

Appearance. Pours a deep ruby to garnet red with a slight, natural haze. The head is thin, pink-tinted, and shows moderate retention, eventually settling into a fine ring of lacing.

Aroma. High intensity; the nose is dominated by tart wild cherries and bright red berries. This is complemented by moderate Brettanomyces funk, manifesting as wet hay and earthy leather. Subtle vinous notes of red wine and charred oak emerge as the beer breathes.

Taste. The palate is led by sharp, tangy wild cherry flavors and a light, crisp acidity. Malt presence is minimal, offering a faint crackery backdrop for complex Brett-derived esters of plum and apricot. The finish is extremely dry and clean, featuring a lingering vinous quality and soft wood tannins from the Bordeaux barrels.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high, prickly carbonation. A mild, pleasant alcohol warmth is present, commensurate with its strength. The mouthfeel is crisp and effervescent with a slight tannic astringency that enhances the dry finish.
