Sour cherries bring vivid red-fruit flavour to a tart, earthy lambic base, with lively acidity keeping the palate dry and precise rather than sweet. A subtle almond note adds complexity behind the fresh cherry character, while gentle funk and a vinous texture build toward a clean, savoury finish. Serve well chilled with duck, charcuterie, washed-rind cheese or dark chocolate, allowing the glass to warm slightly as the aromatics open.

Straw-gold with a persistent white head, this strong Belgian blond ale brings malt, spice and ripe banana across a full, rounded palate. Fruity sweetness is checked by lively carbonation and a dry finish marked by lingering peppery spice. Serve cool from the keg with roast poultry, grilled fish, washed-rind cheese or savoury pastries; the generous format is particularly well suited to sharing.
