A 330ml bottle, with a best before date of January 2024. Poured into an Alvinne teku glass.

Appearance: A cloudy dark reddish purple colour with a thin white head, that left only sparse lacing.

Aroma: Tart, sour, cherry, cherry pie, acetone, nail polish, with hints of vinegar.

Taste: Sweet, sour, tart, tangy, cherry, jammy, cherry pie, cherry juice, oak, acetone, with notes of vinegar.

Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Overall: I tried this side by side with the 2016 version, and I preferred this version a lot more. The cherry was much more prominent here and not overwhelmed by any barrel character like too much vanilla in the 2016 version. It’s still sweeter than I expected given the sweet and sour ratings on the label, and the carbonation was softer than I prefer, but this was still enjoyable as the acidity helped with the soft carbonation.
