Bottle, mail ordered from the brewery. Up from 4.5% last year. Nice burst of strawberry and raspberry, come biscuity malt, creamy lactic acid, touch of vanilla. Less of a big berry burst in the flavor, maybe more natural, some seeds, lactic acid tartness though not hugely sour. Tasty but not super exciting.

- light pink purple color. Slightly phenolic lactic berry character that reminds me of haskup berry, slight tartness. The palate is much more tart than the nose but i don’t know if it’s the berry or what but I get a lot of plastic. If it is the berry it’s really one dimensional and disappointing.

Bottle from the brewery. Pours a salmon pink color, slightly hazy, with a medium, bubbly head. Nose is raspberry, strawberry, creamy lactic acid, lemon. Flavor is tart strawberry and raspberry, citrus, light cream, bit of sugar sweetness. Light, tart, super crisp. Not actually sour, but tangy and fruity. I like that it has almost no residual sweetness. Finishes dry. Great summer refreshment and I think it was even slightly more flavorful on tap.
