Crowler shared by Travlr. Thanks! Clear cranberry, thin fizzy white, decent. Aroma of tart, jammy fruits, earth, caramel. The taste is tart jammy fruits, blueberry, blackberry, hints of chocolate. Medium bodied, low carbonation, mild lingering tartness.

Canable from the source. Clear violet color, thin tan head. Aroma of berries and subtle pepper. Taste is softly sour forest fruit. Tasty enough.
