In 2021, St Thomas was made by blending barrel aged amber mixed culture fermentation ale with 782kg of fresh, whole, tree ripened stemmed and destemmed Morello sour cherries from Thornbrook Orchard in Nashdale, NSW.
Its a lovely beer this year, opening with aromas of cherries, cola and chocolate, very perfumed and heady. Cherry liqueur, sweet baking spices and faint minty stemminess at the end. The palate shows fresh cherry characteristics, sweet and tart with an explosive mid palate. After dinner mint and cherry lead to a long palate finishing biscuity and spicy. A lovely vintage.
