Bottle, by way of a trade with b3shine. Cheers, Beau! Just about clear, Ribena red. Thick, dense, lasting, lacing, dark, dusky pink head. Nose absolutely bursts with jammy, sweet raspberry. It has the intense sweetness that freeze dried fruit would add. Some maraschino cherry. Soft, white chocolate and vanilla oak. Ridiculous aromas here that are just leaping out of the glass. Taste is sweet and jammy, with perfectly pitched, tangy, woody sourness. This is hard to put down, to be honest. Foamy and juicy mouthfeel. Massaging carbonation. The majority of the Berliner twang comes on the finish, and rounds up beautifully a stunningly fruity, juicy, delight of a beer.

Bottle poured into a snifter showing dark vinous red and crimson pink lacing. The nose shows light oak support with a black forest fruit forwardness. Dark and juicy plums and cassis. The palate is light bodied and highly carbonated. Highly tart and extremely fruit forward with flavors of fresh juicy ripe raspberries. Dry but slightly obscured by something. Still a great de Garde.

750mL bottle shared by KBHess on 1/1/17.
Light haziness to the cranberry-violet body. Pink/red-tinged beige head atop shows moderate retention.
Awesomely integrated fruits in the nose with easygoing lactic acid, black pepper, cherry meat-like notes and very soft oak suggestions. Quite laid back for a De Garde though the big fresh fruit notes are there, just not as jammy as some of their beers. Very aromatic, with a hint of acetic character but mostly tons of raspberry acid and moderate lactic character.
The flavor is even better, serving up a funky, fruit-forward, but certainly not sweet character with tight carbonation and a very supple, wheat-heavy texture that allows the acids to sink in and helps soften the sourness. Nicely integrated, with long, berry-heavy flavors lingering and coming back enjoyably retronasal. Couldnt’ stop drinking the stuff. Another masterful fruited sour!

Bottle shared at Dean’s last Stand. No head. Very hazy burgundy pour, looks like wine. Sour with some raspberries. Too sour for me.

Bottle shared with and courtesy of a limping but not too distressed marmot in Deanso’s garage. Red wine look with a big but short lived purple head. Aroma of big tart dark berries, fairly funky, manure and vinegar. Flavour is heavy sour. Light medium bodied with soft carbonation. So this is number three for the style at the time, but it’s very far below the J Wakefields.
