This Wild Ale presents a complex bouquet where fresh cherries take center stage, supported by the rustic charm of Brettanomyces. Barrel aging introduces layers of honeyed wildflowers and nuanced notes of soaked apples, creating a sophisticated aromatic profile. On the palate, a pleasant acidity balances the bright fruit character, leading to a crisp, bone-dry finish. The interaction between the wood and the wild yeast provides a subtle earthiness and a hint of tannic structure. It is a vibrant expression of a Brett Beer, showcasing a harmonious blend of tart stone fruit, delicate funk, and a clean, refreshing profile.

Appearance. Deep reddish-pink to ruby; moderate white to pink-tinted head with fair retention and light lacing; slight haze present from fruit solids and wild yeast.

Aroma. High intensity; dominant fresh tart cherry and cherry skin; secondary notes of rustic barnyard funk, wet hay, and earthy leather; background hints of honeyed wildflowers, cider-like soaked apples, and a touch of neutral oak.

Taste. Initial burst of bright, tart cherry followed by a dry, honeyed malt backbone; Brett-driven complexity includes earthy funk and apple esters; low hop bitterness is eclipsed by a pleasant, clean acidity; finishes bone-dry and crisp with a lingering fruit skin tartness and no harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high attenuation; high carbonation providing a lively, prickly sensation; light alcohol warmth; slight tannic astringency from cherry skins and barrel contact.
