From tap at The Beer Mongers, Portland. Aroma is loads of sour berries with notes of oak and a soft funky touch. More of a red berry aroma than blueberry. Big puckering sour flavour. Body is medium. Verry pleasing berry sour, I love these Almanac sours.

375 ml bottle, bottled 9/28/17.
Red-purple body, with a small, light pink head.
Aroma of spices like rosemary, blueberry skin, grapes, subtle red wine.
Tastes similar, with more red wine.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation.
Finishes vinous, spicy, a bit sweet, with some grapes, lingerielng blueberry skin.

Tasty. Really interesting, pretty unique, with the wine, spices and blueberries working very well together. Almost no sourness, very smooth and balanced to drink. Another great one by Almanac.

Mi2 Cardinal okt-18: den første av i alt tre flaskeøl fra Alamanac. Klar rødgylden med kort skum. Slank og god aroma og smak av blåbær og ikke så mye mer (men muligens litt rødbeter og kanel). Ikke mye farmer-aktig hvis man tenker på farmhouse synes jeg, men Odd rune finner antydninger til lær og stall. Vandig munnfølelse - helt uten karbonering.

Shared bottle at Mi2 at Cardinal 15.10.18 and 17.10.19. Translucent red. Small pink head. Complex aroma of sour berries, blueberries and beetroot. Similar, and acid taste, with hints of cinnamon buns. Acid and dry mouthfeel.
