750 ml bottle. Big acidic nose, berries, funk. Pale red or maybe deep pink. Pretty. Quite sour, with a rather simple flavor of boysenberries. Tasty, but lacking complexity.

On tap at the brewery. Aroma is fairly berry forward with a really nice boysenberry note. A light poopy funk note and a slight phenolic spice. Light oak and citrus notes. Pours a cloudy, reddish purple with a small, thick, pink head that recedes to the edges and lingers. No lacing and small legs. Flavor is moderately acidic with a nice light citrus note. Light oak and moderately strong boysenberry character. Some berry skin tannins. Light tropical fruit and faint phenolics. None of the poop from the aroma. A light jamminess. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, one of my favorite beers from them. The berry character is strong, but not over the top jammy. Nice acidity with some interesting character from the yeast. Not stupidly acidic either which is nice. Very enjoyable.
