New Release: Mon Cheri
May 18, 2021
A GABS Fest special, Mon Cheri slides across the lips like a dream. Purplish pink in hue and ripe with Talus fruit and floral notes atop a light, sour cherry tang, it’s a gently bitter and seductive little number that’s a real French kiss of a beer. Miam miam!
GABS is back once again and with it comes the opportunity to kick out the jams new and interesting ways, with a GABSfest brew that’ll get your mouth watering – the Mon Cheri Cherry Sour IPA.
A tangy, lipsmacking beer if ever there was one, it’s a polyamorous explosion of grapefruit, citrus and tropical fruits, all enlivened with lashings of cherry and a light bitterness that made our French brewer Antoine swoon.
The Mon Cheri is the end result of 200kg of fresh cherry purée, buckets of Talus hops with a hint of florals, and the very cool, very nouveau Philly sour yeast strain – brought together with the typical Akasha eye for quality, balance and freshness. And it’s an absolute banger.
Tart, sour-sweet, and totally lit. What’s not to love? As to the best way to enjoy this tasty delight, why at GABS of course – so allez allez! to the Melbs and Brisbane fests and wrap your lips around this very special beer while you can!
