The Big Friendly Circa
What the brewers say
“Barrel-fermented Brett saison with Montmorency cherries.”
What our panel thought
“Sweet-cherry aroma with moderate rubbery phenols and barnyard funk. The velvety head and effervescence add to the experience.”
What our editors thought
“Soft cherry aroma with an earthy fruit-skin back-note. Initially bitter in the sip, with a spongy tannic quality and strong effervescence that meters the more pleasurable fruit notes. But the woody cherry lingers deep in the retronasal as it finishes.”
