The beer pours a light golden red colour with a huge frothy off-white cap that is very short lived. The aroma is tart fruit, grains, and medicinal cherry notes. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is light grains, and the cherry flavours are sweet and sour, but not in a good way. -

The cider poured a nice transparent reddish-gold with no head. The aroma was sour apples, pears, and raspberries. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, with high carbonation. The flavour was fruity and sweet with a strong berry presence. I really enjoyed the taste of this. I almost felt guilty not having another 3-4 of them. -

The beer pours a translucent light gold colour with a generous white bubbly head that lingers a while. The aroma is grainy malt, macro style and weak floral hops. The mouthfeel is weak to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is very malty with grainy malt, and a weak hoppish bitterness in the finish. Again, not something I would revisit. -
