On tap at Man In the Moon. Almost clear reddish/orange with a small white head. Quite tart with raspberries, some citrus and yeast. Also some funk in the finish. The body was light.

Reddish. Berry forward, tart, candy like. Not overly sweet, but very fruity. Medium bodied. Finish is tart with fruit but dies quick. Decent.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 9/28/2017. Pours slightly hazy ruby reddish orange color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy light pink head with solid retention, that reduces to a minimal spotty lace cap that lingers. Slight spotty lacing on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big juicy and lightly tart/tangy raspberries, red currants, fruit jam, lemon, pear, red apple, fruit skin/seeds, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/acidic yeast, raspberry/currants, and light-moderate moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of juicy and tart/tangy raspberries, red currants, lemon, pear, red apple, fruit skin/seeds, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Light fruity/lactic tartness and fruit tang on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy raspberries, red currant, fruit jam, lemon, pear, red apple, fruit skin/seeds, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/acidic yeast, raspberry/currants, and light-moderate pale malt flavors; with a nice malt/tartness and tangy fruit balance; with zero puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Moderate increasing dryness from lingering tartness/fruit tang. Medium carbonation and light body; with a very smooth and fairly grainy/acidic/tangy/tannic balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 3.8%. Overall this is a nice fruited Berliner weisse. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/acidic yeast, raspberry/currants, and light-moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink; with the mildly lactic/tangy/tannic finish. Better aromas than flavors. Nice jammy nose going on; but the flavors felt watered down and not as heavy on the berries as I hoped. Still has nice overall balance, and is a well made style example. A nicely enjoyable offering.

Keg at Man in The Moon, Stockholm. Clear ruby, rich head. Generous balsamic raspberry aroma with a lemony touch. Tart and slender with clean, rounded mouthfeel. Lemon and balsamic raspberries. Pleasant, but very straightforward. No bitterness.

Can from BrewDog Castlegate. It pours bright red with a quickly dissipating white head. The aroma is soft, fresh raspberry, tart, jammy, sour candy, must and grainy funk. The taste is crisp, pretty dry, tart, pithy, zesty, raspberry skin, cranberry, lemony wash, toasted wheat and grass with a dry finish. Light - medium body and fine carbonation. Not much depth to it. Not bad anyhow.

Sampled on draft at the brewpub this beer poured a caramel color with a medium sized creamy white head that left decent lacing. The aroma was sweet fruit and artificial sugar. The flavor was phenol, egg white, sweet vague artificial fruits and artificial sugar. Logn artificial fruit and artificial sugar finish. Moderately full bodied. Meh.

Sample at Yellow Brick Pizza during the "Platform Patio Shuffle" on 06/22/2016. The beer is a slightly hazy orange-peach color with a thin white head that burns away steadily to a film. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of berries, yeast and malt. Light-bodied with a tart raspberry character and notes of citrus, herbal yeast and malt. The finish is fruity and moderately tart with a raspberry aftertaste. Above average overall.
