750mL bottle, pours an opaque dark orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out fresh raspberries, light tartness and light funk. Flavour is very fruity, with very fruity fresh raspberries upfront, light tartness, oak, and some funk. Really well-constructed, with just a bit of acidity on the finish. Excellent.

[2/14/15] Draught at The Rare Barrel in Berkeley. Deep red color. Wonderful sour and funky raspberries aroma with a bit of manure. Sour flavor full of raspberries, funk, lacto, oak and a lemony note. Rounded mouthfeel. Awesome stuff.

Growler shared by Don at California 10K event yesterday. Pours light borwn with no head. Aroma is sour, raspberry and leather. Med body. Flavor is sour raspberry. Excellent. Finishes sour, woody, and berry astringent (pun intended).

I’m a huge fan of Raspberries so how does this one compare? Also, do these guys only have "sour red / brown" beers? only a couple of goldens (which I prefer) maybe they have some american-lambic coming up soon but I felt like the list was all sour brown and it’s not really a style I seek out. typical sour brown with red hues. no head or there may have been one but it faded fast. really big raspberry pastry nose. Taste is acetic with more fruity berries and crusty dough finish is vinegar and sour candies.
