Brado Cherry Sour

◎ Aussehen

Deep garnet-pink body with exceptional clarity, revealing the wine-like qualities imparted by barrel aging and cherry refermentation. A delicate light pink head forms and recedes quickly, leaving fine traces of lacing around the glass. The color shifts between ruby and mauve depending on light angle, testament to the fruit's dominance.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with intense Montmorency cherry character, tart and jammy in equal measure. Beneath lies a pronounced wild funkiness from Brettanomyces—earthy, slightly barnyard-like—mingled with vanilla and subtle toasted oak from extended barrel contact. A fresh sour edge underlies the entire profile, cutting through the fruit and wood with bright acidity.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is bracingly sour, with tart cherry and dark berry flavors dominating the palate. Mid-palate reveals a chewy, drying tannic structure from barrel exposure, while earthy and funky notes emerge alongside mineral undertones. The beer maintains excellent balance between fruit acidity, wood tannins, and wild yeast complexity throughout.

◑ Abgang

The finish is long and lingering, with the sour cherry and funky fermentation character persisting well past swallow. Dryness builds gradually, leaving mineral and slightly astringent sensations on the palate.
