A multi-barrel blend that was infused with amazing golden raspberries from our friends at Sterino Farms. Heavy on the funk with sour and raspberries bursting mid-palate.

Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: good orange color with some transparency along the sides and a nice finger and a half of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: raspberry tart and sweet and sour meshes with some funk and earthy vibes, underscore of barrel/woody quality
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together semi-sweet with an ample tart and sour quality; light finish of the raspberry tartness
Texture: medium bodied, great sipper! tartness does stab at the tongue as I expected it to but still seemed appropriate at the level where the tartness was
Overall: another nicely done fruited sour ale I would have again by these guys.

Bottle at Shelton Festival. Pours golden with small white head that lasts. The aroma is raspberry, citrus, floral, oak, funk. Thin body, raspberry, grape, nice tartness, light funk, very good.

bomber from Tavour. Sensational wild ale - so complex, but easy to sip and share. Very impressive

Taster at Alibi Room. Pours a bit hazy pale golden with a white head. Aroma is sour with lots of raspberry notes. Similar taste with some barrel notes and moderate to high acidity. Despite I would prefer it to be less acidic, I liked it because of berry character.

Amber, slight haze. This has a nice berry character but also a cleaner note...that's unfortunate because I think there is a really nice beer in there.

Draft - Sweet berry and soap. Clearish gold with a small white head. Much like the nose and not particularly pleasant.

On tap at Farmhouse Fest 2018, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with detergent - ugh, not much else here. Flavour is nasty, with loads of detergent, subdued berries and a little funk. This is ruined by the soap.

Poured on draft at Engine House no. 9. Really interested in this golden raspberry idea, especially in a trusted sour. A mostly clean and bright golden orange. A tart orange fruit nose to this. A bit citrus. Raspberry is not really an up front profile for me. Flavor is a nice amount of sour. Sour peach and mixed berry. Has a sharp taste to it. Remains a refreshing and flavorful sour. Very nicely done here.

375 ml bottle. The beer is a pale gold. Somewhat hazy. Small fizzy white head. The aroma has sweet and sour berries and light but pleasant cheesy funk. Nice raspberry flavor. Light buttery wood note pulls it all together. Berries are more restrained in the taste. Fairly tart. Good pucker on it but not overwhelming. Moderate woody and berry skin bitterness. Pretty dry. Another very nice sour from E9. Nice to see these bottles get down to California.
