Bottle. Pours a hazy copper with small white head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is oak, funk, berry, vinegar. Thin, berry, oak, acidic, vinegar, puckering sour.

On tap at the brewery. Aroma is nice with a moderate jammy berry note. Some light oak notes with hints of cherries and raisins as well. Some light toasted bread and caramel notes. Pours a somewhat clear, copper brown with some golden hues and a small, thin white head that recedes to the edges where it clings to the glass. No lacing or legs. Flavor has a light sweetness with moderate acidity. Lighter berry notes with some raspberry, cherry, raisin and cassis. Medium light oak notes. Some light toasted bread with a bit more caramel. Nice and fruity. Low bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice fruitier version of a Flanders Red. Great berry notes, but not enough to overpower the barrel, malt and yeast character. I think Rare Barrel is doing a great job making more complex beers these days.

At the source in Rare Barrel brewpub, Berkley-USA. Hazy Amber pour, gassy off-white foam. Nose: raspberries, mild sourness not blasting the nose, cellar, misty. Mouth: sweet wine must approach, some fruitiness, tons of pepper, passito wine, fermentation. Great! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

New batch on tap at Rare Barrel. It pours a deep golden red color with a frothy off white head. The aroma is lightly funky with some berry medley...mostly blackberries and blueberries. Lightly jammy. The flavor is similar. Lots of blackberry and blueberry jam. A little funk. Super sour. Again, I can’t drink much of this due to the massive acidity, but the jammy fruits are good.
