Bone dry with lively carbonation, but berry sweet from its refermentation on tart cherries and black currants. Dubbed our “Fruit Brut”, it’s our take on the Brut style.

From a 16oz can, dated 03/29/19. Served in a cervoise.
Pours a translucent plum color with about a finger of fizzy, strawberry-cream foam. The head slopes off within a minute or so, leaving a thin, creamy pink collar and some slippery lacing.
The nose is sharp, tart and zesty. Fruity, more-or-less cherry-like and tending toward sour rather than sweet.
Taste is cherries and more cherries, comes off as a rather intense cherry-flavored seltzer. Tart and dry with a wallop of round, earthy plum character pummeling it’s way through near to the finish and lingering into the next sip.
Feel is light, bright, dry and quenching, probably medium bodied but feeling lighter due to some fairly aggressive carbonation. Dry for sure, but the heavy plum juice at the finish keeps it from being ‘bone dry’ as promised on the label.
Overall, interesting and modestly enjoyable. I’ve only had a couple of brut IPA’s and I guess that they’ve both been fruited (I enjoyed Siboire’s better). If there were a line connecting the sour IPA style to the brut IPA style, I should think this one would fall just about in the middle. I can see how some people would really dig the style but, unfortunately, I don’t think I’m going to be one of them. No real flaws, just not my thing - bruts or sours.
