Brown, no head. Vomitous butyric aroma. Oh boy. On the palate, same thing, I mean light berry but it's picked up too much of this. And on top of that, dark sour, which is a clash of why.

Bottle: Poured a deep red color ale with a medium size foamy head with OK retention and limited lacing. Aroma of fresh cherry notes with some blackberry notes also perceptible and some tart and vinous notes well-balanced against the fruit flavours. Taste is a great mix between some cherry and blackberry notes with some tart notes off-setting some of the fruits with light residua sugar flavours and some vinous notes also noticeable. Body is full with good carbonation. I love the berries that were added in this beer.

650 ml bottle. Pours a dark red/mahogany with light off-white/pink head. Aromas of burnt sugar and dried red berries - kinda like a burnt marshmallow. Flavors of dry, bitter dark berries: salal and currant. Not sour, but different and interesting. A palate cleanser - next beer please...

On tap at Powell Street, pours a deep dark purple with a small purplish-beige head. Nose brings out a high degree of acidity and even acetone, along with tart dark berries. Flavour is along the same lines. The berry notes are rather nice, but they are overburdened by the acetone. Body is thin and lacking complexity. Shame - could be good, but as with every single Powell Street sour so far, this has acidity issues.

Draft - Dark malts and some light buttery. Deeper reddish with a small pinkish head. Some mellow tartness, dark malts and buttery notes.

The aroma has some tobacco, soil, rancid butter. Buttery and oxidized. Sometimes dark Sours can get interesting after some time, but not this one, it's actually very bad.

The aroma is a bit metallic, tin, very light berries. Dry mouthfeel, light but not too thin; it has some chocolate quality and the berries add a vinous character, mild elderberry wine, and moderate acidity. Dry and rather watery final.
Nothing spectacular, but it seems a bit more interesting than the young sample from tap.

2016-05-09, draught at the brewery, 6-4-6-2-11=29
Dark color, brown, almost black, with purple hue and pinkish small head. The aroma is too mild; wood, fruits, sourness. A bit too much carbonated and a bit too dry; not much flavor, it's a bit woody and astringent, light acidity.
Not a bad beer, but probably the Saskatoon berry is not so good, and overall bit terribly lacks of depth.
