davidezdonz (1514) - Hong Kong, HONG KONG - JUN 23, 2020UPDATED: JUN 26, 2020 A 500ml bottle, with a best before date of November 2025. Poured into an Alvinne teku glass. It was a hazy orange red rusty colour with a half finger beige head that had decent retention and left some nice lacing. Aromas were tart, sweet, cherry, cherry pip, grape skin, acetone, with hints of raspberry yoghurt. Tastes sour, tart, cherry, cherry pie, strawberries, wood, with notes of vinegar. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Overall nice cherry flavours that are well balanced. I can’t help but wonder what this tasted like fresh.

neongolden (3888) - Quebec City, Quebec, CANADA - MAY 2, 2019UPDATED: MAY 2, 2019 (500ml bottle shared @ Nische's tasting, not even sure where this appeared from but thanks!) Pours hazy medium orangish red with a whitish head. Notes of quite sour and concentrated cherries, a little jammy sweetness, cherry skins, almonds, high lactic sourness, light fruit vinegar, oak, red wine tannin, light musty cellar funk. High tartness continues all the way through the finish. Medium bodied, with soft effervescent carb. The cherry has likely faded with age and left the sourness even more unmasked; it's a nice beer but now a little acid-heavy.
