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.
