Sampled from the tap at the brewery. Pours a hazy deep but bright purple with a slightly pink head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has earthy and tart dark berries with a touch of sweet blackberry and a hint of lemon. Flavor is full of slightly tart blackberry with a lemon bite and a hint of lactose.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 6/24/2019. Pours nearly opaque dark ruby red/purple color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky pink head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big juicy/tart/tangy blackberry, black currant, fruit skin/seeds, lemon zest, lime, peach, plum, pear, apricot, red/green apple, red grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, vanilla, cream, wheat, white bread dough, light peppercorn/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of blackberry, blackcurrant, lemon zest, fruity/acidic yeast, lactose, and pale/wheat malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge juicy/tart/tangy blackberry, black currant, fruit skin/seeds, lemon zest, lime, peach, plum, pear, apricot, red/green apple, red grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, vanilla, cream, wheat, white bread dough, light peppercorn/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Light fruity/lactic tartness, fruit tang, zesty bitterness, and spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy blackberry, black currant, fruit skin/seeds, lemon zest, lime, peach, plum, pear, apricot, red/green apple, red grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, vanilla, cream, wheat, white bread dough, light peppercorn/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of blackberry, blackcurrant, lemon zest, fruity/acidic yeast, lactose, and pale/wheat malt flavors; with a fantastic malt/tartness and tangy fruit balance; with no cloying/puckering flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering tartness and tangy fruit. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, fairly acidic, and lightly zesty/tangy/tannic mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol for 7%. Overall this is an incredible fruited milkshake sour. All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of blackberry, blackcurrant, lemon zest, fruity/acidic yeast, lactose, and pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth and pretty refreshing to drink with the mellowly acidic/tangy/drying finish; fantastic soft feel. Amazing balance of super juicy/jammy fruit, and Lacto complexity; with a great balanced lactose, and wheat/malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and amazing spot on style example as expected. Love the whole series.

Draft at HOMES. Pours a hazy plum color with a finger of pink foam that dissiaptes. Huge blackberry aromas with aΓ§aΓ­ and dark plum. Dried plum, blackberry vinous, tannic Cabernet notes on the palate. Bone dry, light Shiraz with more full-bodied aΓ§aΓ­. Insanely good.
