750mL bottle, pours an intense purple with an intensely pink head. Aroma has loads of pithy raspberry notes, with a little funk and medium acidity. Flavour is huge on the pith, with loads of pithy raspberries, moderate tartness and medium acidity. Huge fruitiness, and less acidic than a lot of De Garde offerings. Excellent.

Bottle thanks to Bruce. Gush. It pours deep purple with a thick pinkish head. The nose is fresh, very jammy, shed load of berry and fruit compote. The taste is crisp, tart, big mouth - pucker, jammy berry, sherbet, sour green apple, big acidity andcdry wood with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. A bit acidic, but rather nice.

The beer is a deep purple-magenta color, dark and vibrant. Medium purple head. The aroma is tart and juicy with tons of berries. Light floral note with gentle lacto. Fairly tart with lots of fruit character. Big berries. Definitely a raspberry bomb but a good dose of blackberry-ish tartness on top. Quite dry. Fair bit of oak. Light feel, lots of pucker. Excellent fruit character.

From a bottle at the brewery. Aroma had a nice medium acidity with moderate berry character including a lot of raspberry. Light citrus notes. Pours a deep purple red with a big purplish head that recedes fairly quickly to the edges where it lingers for a bit. Flavor is moderately acidic with some light lemon notes. Moderately strong berry character with some light wheat notes shining through. Low bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice beer. I think the berry bus are the best beers they make. So much nice berry notes with some light malt notes showing through. Hints of citrus as well.

Bottle thanks to Chow. Pours a dark purple with medium pink head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is strong raspberry and grape. Medium mouth, tart raspberry, light jam, really enjoyed this one.

Awesome beer. Probably the best of the night. Pours a bright purple color with large white head. The aroma is massive dark raspberry and oak. This smells amazing. The flavor is huge syrah casks, berries, sharp and slightly sour, but super drinkable and very fresh fruit. The freshness and just flat out explosive flavors is what makes this world class. Lovely beer.
