U-Pick Cherry

◎ Appearance

Deep garnet to dark brown in the glass, with the translucency of cherry juice held to light. The head is modest and cream-coloured, settling to a fine collar with notable lacing. Carbonation is gentle and persistent, appropriate to the wild fermentation and bottle conditioning.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with tart stone fruit—cherry pit, plum skin—undercut by a wild, slightly vinous acidity that signals natural fermentation. Beneath the fruit lies chocolate and cocoa powder, with a whisper of light roast grain. The overall impression is dry and complex rather than jammy.

◐ Taste

Entry is sharply tart, with cherry acidity cutting across the palate before a dark malt foundation emerges—cocoa, bitter chocolate, toasted grain. The fruit never turns sweet; instead it reads as pit and skin, playing against the roasted base. Mid-palate holds both the bite and the richness, dry throughout, with a subtle astringency that lingers.

◑ Finish

Long and dry, the acidity persists without harshness, accompanied by lingering cocoa and a gentle roast character. The aftertaste remains focused on stone fruit and malt rather than fading to simple sweetness.

Serve at 6–9°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
