Starting with our coolship inoculated and oak barrel fermented and aged farmhouse wild ale, we further fermented and conditioned this blend of Premiere on a large amount of whole Black and Red Raspberries. The beer is vibrantly colored, with a correspondingly intense spicy fruit aroma and flavor, and a characterful yeast expression.

On tap at Bridge and Tunnel, Astoria. Deep purple with purple white head. Lots of dark berries, some funk, barrel, medium sourness, quite balanced. Good complexity. Nice.

Draft pour to a tulip, enjoyed at Elliott Bay Pizza. Dark grape juice reddish purple, bright hot pink foam. Jammy aroma, tart mixed berries. Intense tart front that slowly smooths out. Some wine grape, dry finish. Moderate acidity, some oak, sour sharp finish. Really unique brew. Been a while since I've come across one from these guys, and I instantly miss it. Very good one here.

750ml bottle pours out sexy deep purple topped with a purple pink head. Nose is great big jammy berries funky oak barrel notes. Taste is more of the nice sweet jammy berries some seed tartness and a nice funky barrel blend.

Bottle at BenH. It pours darkest purple with a quickly dissipating purple head. The aroma is rich, crazy juicy, tangy, loads of jammy fruit, black raspberry and gummy bears. The taste is crisp, dry, oily, tangy, puckering, kick of acidity, very fruity, jammy, tangy, raspberry, bramble, vinous, cranberry and a touch of Dandelion & Burdock with a dry, tangy finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. So purple and fruity. A touch acidic, but fun anyhow.

Bottle. Pours a purple color with a medium pink head. A big fruity nose. Huge berries. Tart. Woody. Great. A sort of very dark sour berry core, but it is easy going. The appearance is so beautiful.
