Opaque pale pink. No head. Berryish aroma, lactic kettle sour note, nice berry complexity, which helps bring something out of the kettle.

On tap at The Living TapRoom, pours an opaque muddy pink with a small white head. Aroma is very jammy, with lots of raspberry and blueberry, and some mixed cultures in there that are rather buried. Flavour is tart and jammy, with plenty of juicy raspberries, a touch of blueberry, and some subtle bugs underneath that thankfully do not overaccentuate the lacto. Nice casual, jammy, fruity, buggy sour.

--Bottled, from Systembolaget. -- Hazy purple-ish red, rich pale pinj head. Generous aroma of raspberries and blackberries. Tart with light-medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Tart and mildly funky with dark berries. Relaxed, but but not complex.

Nicely lightly soured and fruited. Gentle, mostly raspberry, bit floral. Reading other reviews this one might have died in the bottle. Reminder to self to try this one again.

Draft pour to a tulip at Hop and Hound. A beautiful cherry, ruby red pour with a thin frost head. Tart grapes and mixed berry dominate the aroma from a distance. Lovely. Taste is a pretty close match. Acidity is high, and it adds to the sour kick. Has a fruit punch quality. Wonderfully tart and flavorful. Grape, blueberry, raspberry. Delicious.

500 ml bottle. Aroma is berries, lacto, Pours a gorgeous ruby purple-red with a small purplish-white head that settles into a skiff of foam pretty quick. Taste is light to moderately sour (6-7/10), very dry, with flavors of berries, Kool-Aid powder. Kind of thin and watery. Not bad, but I thought it would be better.
