Can shared by Kyle, thanks! Pours a clear gold with a slight amber hue and a near white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a combination of earthy tart and sweet raspberries with a grain backbone. Flavor has more sour raspberry with some light acid and a touch of earthy grain backing.

Can courtesy of Reynolds 314, thanks! Cloudy reddish purple color, light pink head. Nice aroma of overripe raspberry with a touch of background roast. Taste is tart raspberries, sour lemon. Tasty.

Though not a whale, just glad to have finally tried this.
This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a ruddy burnt orange leaning to a brown color. Sly transparency to it. But I can’t see the carbonation, no worries.
Head dissipates immediately. No lace.
The aroma takes in sour green apples with the normal dried clever Hermit Thrush woodiness to it. Red raspberries slide in underneath.
The flavor brings it all together in a sour manner initially and then dryly slides into a quick aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a decent sessionability about it. Carbonation seems good. Not as syrupy as some of their other beers.
Overall, good beer for the most part. I could have this again.

brown, good clarity, acidity in the aroma with a little raspberry hints. very tart, lingering vinegar with chalk and sour. Raspberry is not pronounced. more watermelon and fig than raspberry. pretty thin.
