The ChrisO small midweek tasting. Hazy dark pink beer with a good pink head! Palate is light, dry and crisp. Strong raspberry sourness with sharp minerals. Can’t really taste anything else. Okay - bit sharp.

750 ml bottle shared by Ted. The pour is a hazed reddish brown with a smallish tan head. The aroma is raspberry fruit, light vanilla sweetness, and a tart funkiness. There is a brief hint of acetic vinegar, though it is quite subdued. The taste shows a nice balance of funk and raspberry fruit tart sweetness. There is a softness to the funk tartness that works well with the fruit. Palate is medium to light bodied, active carbonation, and a dry funky finish. Fun beer, thanks for sharing Ted.

Bottle at Chriso - 25/09/12. Very clouded reddish amber in appearance with a thin off white head that soon clears. Very sour tones on the nose of brett, wood and berry fruits, cherry and raspberries. Taste progresses from the nose but is sweeter than the nose suggested. More brett, light berry fruits, straw, horse dung. Medium bodied with light carbonation and a sharp finish. Really enjoyed this one!

Bottle thanks to Bill at ChrisO. It pours cloudy red, with a medium pink-white head. The nose is raspberry yoghurt, old fart, cherry tunes, creamy, oak and some funk. The taste is tart raspberry, strawberry, lemon, red grapefruit, watermelon, vinous, wood and a hint of vinegar in the background, with a mouth-puckering finish. Medium body and moderate, prickly carbonation. Tart, refreshing and flavoursome. Pretty delicious stuff all round.

Bottle @ Dan’s house. Pours a murky, maroonish copper appearance with a fairly small, off white head. Funky, tangy raspberry, a touch cheesy, tingly berry, prickly carbonated, vanilla, a touch woody, very funky, barnyard aroma. Prickly carbonation. Sweet yet pretty tart, cran-raspberry, very refreshing, tangy/mildly tart, vanilla, somewhat earthy, barnyard flavor with a lingering raspberry seed, tart flavor. Very refreshing and easy drinking. It’s a winner in my book. Update: Tasted again at Exira Beer Summit III. Really nice stuff. There is a light butyric acid note but it is not too pronounced.
