Using the same wort base as our recently released table beer, a portion was added on top of the spent Stevnsbær cherries used to make Ordinance. Where the fruit was at center stage in the latter, the opposite is true of this beer. What we get in return from this second maceration of the fruit is a light, floral and refreshing beer. Canned with local raw honey for a natural carbonation.
The spent cherry base gives it a tart, almost earthy finish that lingers nicely without turning sweet. I cracked one open expecting a heavier fruit bomb but got a clean, drinkable table beer instead. Perfect for a warm evening when you want something light but not boring.
The cherry flavor is subtle but really comes through from those spent Stevnsbær berries, so it's more of a gentle tartness than a fruit bomb. I cracked one open after dinner and the light body made it dangerously easy to finish the whole bottle. That wort base does a lot of heavy lifting here.
The leftover Stevnsbær cherries give this such a delicate, jammy edge without turning it into a fruit bomb. It drinks way lighter than I expected for a beer brewed on spent fruit, and that subtle tartness keeps me coming back for another sip. Perfect balance for a warm evening.
