Cuvee-Brut
Quite dark red, almost purple in the glass. Hazy body. One solid finger of pinkish head that stays for a while. Tart cherry smell, with just a hint of candy sweetness mixed in. Faint funk, but only if you really look for it. Tart cherry to the taste as well, but with a stronger yeast impression. Something of an oak type wood flavour. Lingering tartness isn't quite enough to pucker, but it is certainly a dominating aspect. Here and there a bit of candy sugar pops up, reminding me of pixie stick. First couple of mouthfulls seemed to be a bit watery in body, but it evens out to a light but well carbonated feel. Pretty good for a tart fruit beer, but nothing outstanding. This would be a good beer for a fruit beer fan that wants to check out more sour beer. It isn't in your face sour, but it certainly isn't a sweet beer. Not bad at all.
