Tap. Hazy red color with white head. Aroma is cherries, a bit earthy, peach skin. Taste is peach skin, cherries, lactic, quite some tannins in the back, sticking on your tongue. Fluffy mouthfeel, low carbonation. The tannins in here are a bit weird, but the flavours are nice.

500ml bottle from The Gull at Teekay. Appearance: hazy purple with a white head. Aroma: lots of berries, raspberries, strawberries, cherries, funky. Taste: similar, quite tart and pretty acidic. Overall: a bit too acidic, than I would prefer, but it's quite good.
