Beaverfest. Keg. Hazy orange beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light, fairly dry and has decent fine minerally carbonation. Thin malts. Bright punchy raspberry and generic fruits. A light winey vibe. Little tangy lemon. Light finish. Nice job, bright and fresh and never too tart. For me the best Berliner here and in some months.

Keg at Beaverex '18, day one, 07/09/18. Lightly hazed golden with a reddish glint topped with an off white covering. Nose is red grape must, straw, pissy berries, damp wood, funk. Taste comprises mellow barrel notes, red grape must, red berry balsams, straw, funk, sharp berry fruits, raspberry pips, lemon rind. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with balanced acidity. A really solid complex but easy drinking approachable sour.

On tap at Galbraith's, apparently one of 28 kegs. Pours hazy gold orange. Raspberry, blackcurrant, sharp citric acidity, little herbal, touch of toast, plenty more raspberry, lots of cherry and blackberry and all those beautiful red fruit burgundy notes. Nice carbonation. Very very good.
