Sample at Hoof Hearted during the "Zipper Ripper vs Everybody Wants Some Mosaic - Ticketed Event" on 02/04/2017. Murky dark reddish-brown color with a medium thin off-white head that diminishes steadily to a film. Strings of lacing on the glass. The aroma consists of tart berries, oak, yeast and malt. Light to medium body with a tart cherry and berry character and notes of yeast and doughy malt. The finish is moderately sour with a raspberry and cherry aftertaste. Very good beer all around.

On tap at the brewery. Aroma is fairly raspberry forward with some lighter dark toffee and caramel notes with a hint of chocolate. Light acidity with a hint of citrus and pineapple. Light oak notes. Some cassis and cherry notes as well. Pours a murky, muddy dark brown with some red hues and a thick, small, dark tan head that recedes to the edges where it lingers. No lacing or legs. Flavor has a moderately strong acidity with a light sweetness. Some caramel and toffee with hints of chocolate. Moderately strong raspberry notes with light citrus and hints of pineapple. Hints of cherry and cassis. Light oak and low bitterness. Some tannins. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice dark sour with good raspberry notes that are balanced with the acidity and malt character. Acidity is well rounded and only a bit sharp.
