500mL bottle, capped, no date. Poured into can shaped glass. Heck, I just figured out this is made in Cali, wtf is it doing in PA? I’ve never seen this between the other states but I digress. Well, its a purple beer. Looks like Kool Aid sediment with a fizzy head. Aroma is muddy, poopy berry seeds. Not very appealing to me. Some green berry leaves, earthy. Not what I was expecting. Poop-earth berry with some tartness on the nose. Mouthfeel is a shake like feel with spritzy carbonation trying to cut through it. Flavor has more tartness, drying me out at the end of the flavor. A more tart berry beer with less poop. A little jam in there as well. Flavor much better than aroma.

500mL bottle, pours an opaque cloudy bright purple with a small white head. Aroma is super jammy, with tons of tart jammy boysenberries upfront. Flavour is massively jammy, with lots of tart boysenberries upfront, with some dry woodiness and pithy acidity on the finish. Tart and jammy on the finish, with ample pithiness. Monolithic but a fun jammy tart beer. Lovely.

Bottle. Pours cloudy magenta, medium pink head, dissipates fairly quickly, decent lacing. Aroma is strong berries, lots of raspberry for some reason. Flavor is light tart, berries, skins and stems, a hint of funk, lots of mineral water. Medium body. Wife thought it was fair to middlin.

On tap at the brewery. It pours a hazy purple/red color with an off white head. The aroma has big boysenberry notes with some mild fruity acidity. Authentic. The flavor is mildly tart and very fruity. Lots of berries. Good tartness and light on the palate with no off flavors. Solid.

The bottom of the 500ml bottle thanks to rick. Pours out a sweet looking purple. Nose is sweet berries and a bit of brett. Taste is more of the berry sweetness and a funk.

Bottle share. Reddish purple color, wispy white head. Smells like boysenberry jam... Tastes similar. Fruity, light sour note, some oak. Lingering sour finish. Really good.

Bottle thanks to Dan. Pours a clear purple with small pinkish head that lasts. The aroma is strong boysenberry and cherry skin. Thin mouth, tart berry, jammy, light finish, very good.
