pink purple color. Bourbon, oak, raspberries, blueberries. Nice fruit character but the depth isn’t there compared to magic lambic. Nice bourbon character, tart modestly Jammy. Decent depth. Good stuff but not mind blowing.

750ml bottle pours a deep amber/purple with some swirling pink head. Nose has cherry and raspberry, jammy but also earthy. Flavor is tart with berry, some grapefruit, vanilla too, red grape jelly. Full bodied. Enveloping, tart finish.
