Leftover can when from when Tree Rock closed a couple months back. Mojito glass @home. Clear, peachy pink, soda froth pour. Stinky papaya & confection nose, why? Really off-putting nose. As it airs out it's mostly grape Gatorade. Grape sweet tarts, medicinal, lemon juice, wax, bubblegum. I didn't get blackberry though. Thin, Sweet-Tart candy, dusty sulfites, chemical burn, Gatorade. Have I rated anything okay from here? How does this place stay in business?

Can. Pours as clear light rose with a light pink head that dissipates quickly and nearly completely. Aroma has an odd combination of tart blackberry and sweet honey underlying. Flavor has tart candied blackberry with a growing honey and a light dryness.

Half liter bottle from Keweenaw Coop, 6/30/20. Clear red, thin fizzy head that fades quickly. Aroma of strong honey with mild berry. Taste is honey, blackberry, vanilla, a bit of pepper. Medium bodied mild tartness. Solid.

Sour milk/barnyard, blackberry, light honey, and hay aroma. Pale pink with moderate effervescence. Moderately sweet blackberry and honey, mildly sour lactic/citric acid, and mildly bitter barnyard hay flavor. Good body. Sweet and funky - interesting.

Draft pour (yep, draft) at Savannah Bee Co. in Charleston SC. Poured a light, clear ruby red/yellow color with a small white head that dissipated immediately. Berries were mellow in the aroma, but opened up, bursting through when sipped. Tasty.

500 mL bottle. Pours a copper color, clear. Medicinal berry aroma with a touch of honey. Raspberry/blackberry juicy flavor, nice sweet honey, but definitely some tartness as well. Really tasty.

Awesome! Huge tart/sour berries; honey notes of lemon/orange/floral/earthy spice. Tart/tannic/semisweet finish. Great balance/very drinkable
