Batch 2 Bottle into a taster showing dark purple with sparse dark purple foam. The nose shows intense notes of tart and juicy blackberry, plum, and raspberry. The palate is medium bodied and well carbonated. Moderately tart with strong juicy raspberry forwardness throughout until the finish. Raspberry is juicy, tart and intense like puree. Fantastic

Blend #3 bottle shared at Lucky Bamboo share. Pours a deep ruby to burgundy color with a small purplish-pink head that dissipates to the edge of the glass. Love raspberry forward nose with oak, blueberry and faint strawberry jam notes. Notes of raspberry skin and seed on the palate. Fruit notes are strong with mild tannic seed and oak on the finish.

Wine barrel aged sour ale by this highly accomplished craft brewer in Missouri, with 'black raspberries' added, a particular type of raspberries native to eastern North America. Thin, fuchsia ring for a head with a flat 'island' in the middle, over a hazy dark purple beer, a beautiful 'purpureus' glow reminiscent of the applied fruit itself. Aroma of lots and lots of ripe black raspberries, red wine vinegar, dry cookies, dried lemon peel, raisin, very coarse red wine and wet wine barrel, tomato peel, sesame seed. Crisp sour raspberry acidity in the mouth, drying and astringent but still with a small sweetish fructose core accentuating the richness of the fruit juicy aspect in this beer; blue plum-, red apple- and BlackBerry-like notes as well. Softish carb, slick, drying acidity penetrating a slick wheaty-bready-cracker-like malt body eventually dried even further by wine barrel tannins and remainders of the wine within; still the lemony fruit acidity remains overpowering. Perhaps a tad much so: allowing for a little bit more 'rotund' sweetness can truly lift this type of clever and carefully made modern sours to an even higher level. Other than that, a beautiful and original 'deep purple' sour in all respects.

CBS vertical tasting @ Tim's. Thank you Jon for sharing. Pours red, with some pink foam. Vinegary balsamic nose, you can make salad dressing with this. Raspberries and some cherry jam in the nose as well. Dry fruitiness emerging from sour beginnings, tart overall, light bodied. Vinegar in the finish too, dry, fruity and still dry finish.

Inky purple pink color. Super intense blackberries, raspberries, lobsters, oak, very tart. Very tart with the berries just super concentrated and dry. The lobsters lingering in the finish. Really interesting. Very different. Love it

Tiny bottle sampled cheers to Max; cloudy light purple pour with a tiny off white head, aroma has funky raspberry, taste has big raspberry along with slight German sausage, quite funky.
