On tap at St. Augustines on Rare Beer Tap Takeover. Sour fruity aroma and taste with berries notes. Quite pleasant, but I would prefer it to be not so sour.

Bottle from Appellation Wines. Appearance - deep damson and cloudy with an attractive thin lacing. Nose - big coconut notes. Then dark fruits. Taste - blueberry and coconut. The coconut dominates up front then the long dry tart fruit kicks through! Palate - light to medium bodied with a tangy texture and a long dry tangy finish that goes on a fair length of time. Overall - this got better as it went on.

T42 Bottleshare. Thanks to Fergus. Hazy peachy pink beer, thin pale cream colour head. Palate is light, dry and has reasonable fine carbonation. Tangy blueberry, getting some mild lemon and a pinch of sherbet. Light fruity finish. Nice sherbet.

Bottle shared in London - many thanks to Fergus. Pours pale hazy red with a creamy, white head. Lots of acidic lemon in the nose, faint tangy berries. Light sweet flavor with quenching sourness, more lemon, some rind, melon, peach. Light to medium bodied with spritzy carbonation. Refreshingly sour on the finish, with more lemon, salt, watermelon, grapefruit. Pretty good stuff.

Bottle big thanks to Fergus, it pours hazy pinkish - amber with a small off - white head. The aroma is soft, sweet - sour, funky, sour blueberry, vanilla, toasted coconut and candy. The taste is crisp, rather tart, bracing acidity upfront, sour blueberry, lemon peel, Granny Smith apple, sherbet, toasted almond and wood with a dry finish. Medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. Fresh, tart and juicy. Good juan.

Bottle at the Level 42 tasting, many thanks to Fergoos, 05/05/2016. Murky crimson with a moderate off white covering. Nose is pissy, funky berry, blueberry funk, damp straw, earthy. Taste comprises bluberry flan left on the side for a week, funk, spice, tarte berry snap, damp hay. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, rising but restrained acidity in the close. Decent sour.

Bottle, shared at tasting. Pours hazy pinkish red. Aroma is highly tart and sour with oak, cheese, lemon and just light blueberry. Taste is also very sour and tart with hints of lemon and very light blueberry. Nice beer but not so much blueberry actually.
