Raspberry & Cherry | 2021 Harvest

Raspberry & Cherry | 2021 Harvest was pulled from a single barrel of traditionally brewed spontaneously fermented beer from the 2020 brewing season. In early July 2021, we received a fresh harvest of Montmorency Cherries and added these directly to oak with the beer at a rate of over 4 lbs per gallon. Soon after, we received our harvest of New Jersey Red Raspberries and added them directly to the same barrels at a rate of over 1.5 lbs per gallon. At bottling, this blend had an average age of 17 months and has been conditioning since its bottling in 2022. Raspberry & Cherry | 2021 Harvest pours an ambered red with an off-white pink foam, and pushes aromatics of sweet red fruits, raspberry jam and underlying cherry pie filling. Flavors of cinnamon and a particularly jammy cherry profile balance a firm raspberry acidity and fruit tannins.​
