750 mL bottle, shared in line at Zwanze. Pours hazy, reddish brown, with a medium beige head. The nose is over ripe strawberries, wet grass, bad yogurt, black bread, and caramel. Sweet and sugary, with a sour flavor that is borderline rancid. Medium body, a bit acidic, creamy, and sticky. This sour is unfortunate; off flavors dominate, and it clings to the palate.

[1/29/16] Bottle sample at a hotel room bottle share during RBWG 2016 in Santa Rosa. Thanks everyone who shared bottles! Red-amber. Aroma of acetone, sanitizer, strawberry. Sour flavor with strawberries, a bit of acetone. Medium-bodied. Aroma is awful, flavor is a bit better.

Bottle shared late-nite at RBWG 2016 - big thanks to PHale! Pours unclear ruddy red with a creamy white head. Smells of plastic, faint berry. Light sweet flavor, more plastic, acetone, light lemony acidity, earth. Light bodied with average carbonation. Rough finish, more plastic, light varnish, tart berries. Pretty rough overall.

Bottle split in the Fart Dungeon, thanks to Pedro, 29/01/16. Hazed reddish amber with a decent off white covering. Nose is tangy red berry, strawberry jelly, brett strokes, funk. Taste comprises tarte strawberry, funky, pissy, juicy berry sherbets. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a semi puckering curtain call. Ok.

Bottle @ the tap room, shared with Alex Carlton. A little murky, orangish appearance with a big, bubbly, tan head. Aroma has fun, hint of cheese, lemon, strawberries. A little bit of rubber in the flavor, presumably from the yeast/bacteria blend. Refreshing and high boost. Plenty of fruit. One of the better releases to date at CIB. I drank probably 2/3 of the bottle while chatting up Alex. Uncle Chris accidentally blended this with Mocha Porter and the three of us found it to be a happy accident. Cleaner than some of the early releases.
