Growlette from brewery.
This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a nice looking ruddy pink color with a quickly dissipating white filmy head that had a little bit of concave lacing trying to stretch upward.
The smell started off with strawberry and raspberry with a big amount of sourness (brett-like) blending into a light sweet blueberry underneath.
The taste was moderately sour with an ample amount of sweetness from the blueberries to make an effort to balance. Sourness shows a nice settling feel in the flavor. Semi-sour to tart fruity balance in the aftertaste running into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium in body with a little bit of sessionability about it as the sourness hits good in the feel. Carbonation runs a bit under. Stickiness is there but not overbearing.
Overall, for an American Wild ale, it works, as all of the advertised fruits are there showing that it is a nice \"medley.\" Sour fans, I recommend.
