Pastore Brewing & Blending - Diane

A gloriously indulgent, dessert-inspired creation from Cambridgeshire's acclaimed Pastore Brewing & Blending, Diane is a beautifully fruity Cherry Pie Pastry Sour that captures all the comforting flavours of a freshly baked fruit pie in one deliciously tart and wonderfully decadent beer.

Fermented using Pastore's distinctive fresh sour mixed culture, this imaginative creation is conditioned on a magnificent combination of juicy cherries, honeyberries, raspberries, maple, pecans and vanilla, delivering a wonderfully complex balance of luscious fruit, nutty richness and sweet dessert flavours.

Expect enticing aromas of ripe cherries, tangy summer berries and sweet vanilla, complemented by delicate hints of toasted pecans and maple syrup. On the palate, vibrant cherry flavours take centre stage, with waves of juicy raspberry and honeyberry introducing a refreshing tartness that beautifully balances the beer's indulgent sweetness.

Rich maple notes and smooth vanilla bring a comforting, pastry-like character, while the addition of pecans contributes a delicate nuttiness reminiscent of freshly baked cherry pie. The lively acidity keeps everything beautifully balanced, preventing the dessert-inspired flavours from becoming overwhelming.

Wonderfully fruity, satisfyingly tart and deliciously indulgent, Diane finishes with lingering cherry sweetness, gentle vanilla and a refreshing sour bite. A magnificent treat for lovers of imaginative pastry sours and an excellent alternative to dessert itself!
