Pale berry colour, with some haze. The aroma is again berries - I'm not familiar with the chokeberry so I'll be pretty generic here. On the palate, the body feels relatively light, wheaty. There's a mellow tartness. The berry is nice, brings some good fruitiness, like a cross between a cloudberry and a blackberry. Solid stuff.

750mL bottle, pours a hazy dark amber with a small off-white head. Aroma has a nice buggy character, lots of tart red berries, and some pungent floral notes. Flavour is tart and buggy, with a nicely acidic red berry character, some tannins, and plenty of bugs. Finishes sharply tart without being too acidic, tannic, and buggy. This is great.

Poured from 750mL bottle. Hazed orangey red with small white head. Oaky wood chip quality, chokeberry gives a bitter sweetness, okay.

750mL bottle. Pours murky dull red with a white head. Earthy wild yeast and tart berries on the nose. Flavour has earthy wild yeast as a base and the berries are on the tart side. Very solid wild ale; the yeast expression is great and the berry adjuncts compliment the beer very nicely. Good carbonation and an off-dry finish. Very nicely done.
