5oz pour at brewery. Pours opaque purplish red with white head. Aroma has jammy raspberry and blackberry. Flavour is also very jammy. Fairly high carbonation, which does offset the thick jammy quality of the beer. Overall not particularly good.

Bottle shared by Matt: pours red with a white head. Aroma is raspberry and blackberry and some brett. Taste is funky, raspberry, blackberry. Not sour. Smooth. Tasty.

Poured from 500mL bottle (abv listed as 7%) aged for at least 1.5 years (probably two - supplied by Fiery1). Purple-ish red with small off-white head (some sediment chunks near the bottom of the bottle). Lots of berry notes, mostly raspberry with a bit of blackberry pith, jammy, mild tartness and acidity, touch of lacto. Quite nice. I'm guessing the aging mellowed out the tartness (noted for potential future Urban Family purchases).

500ml bottle. Cloudy, ruby colour with small, frothy, fading, white head. Earthy, fruity aroma, notes of dark and red berries, bramble, raspberry. Taste is sour, fruity, notes of bramble and raspberry, a lactic touch. Watery texture, astringent palate, medium, prickly carbonation. A tad too sour, not overly complex - decent.

500 ml. Aroma is olive brine, raspberries, floral. Pours clear and bright ruby red with a thick pink-white head with excellent retention. Taste is highly sour (8/10) with massive raspberry and blackberry flavor. So good.

Blackberry raspberry nose in that order mostly, not much tartness but nice amount of fruit in the back at least.

On tap at Urban Family, pours a cloudy dark pink with a small beige head. Aroma brings out tart raspberries and a touch of blackberry pith. Flavour is quite tart, with lots of raspberries and blackberries, lacto, and aggressive tartness. Lots of berries. Not overly complex. Good.

A couple of 13 oz tulips poured on draft at Hop and Hound. Can not resist a delicious raspberry forward sour. Delicious. Well constructed. A bright cranberry red pour. Swirling active fizz head. This has a funk to it. Pretty even 3 way balance of sour fruit, funk, and a wine character. Tart grape, raspberry, and a lingering sour, jammy mixed berry finish. Late palate fresh fruit reminder. Carb is high. Cool constant. A pleasantly enjoyable sour. I'll never tire of Urbam Family's unique and impressive spur lineup.

Draft - Lots of tart red berries. Deep reddish with a decent white head. Soured red fruit and a bit of earth. Raspberry come through in the finish.
