Bottle. I let this one sit a while based on reviews, and I am glad. Pours crystal clear orange, small white head, dissipates fairly quickly, decent lacing. Aroma is really blueberries, cereal grains, lemon, oak. Flavor is medium plus tart, fruity blue berries, a hint of funk going on. Medium body. Pretty solid sour.

Bottle. Pours a hazy gold with small off white head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is strong berry, wheat, cereal. Thin mouth, strong sourness, blueberry warhead, clean and crushable, very good.

Bottle shared at Anchorage Feb ’15 Tasting: Poured a orange haze, not much for head. Aroma was mix of funky aged blueberries. Taste was nice funky sour presence that has a light blueberry oak tint.

Bottle @ home, picked up at 287 Liquor for $11. Pours a dull, hazy reddish appearance with a thin tan head. The aroma has some funk, wine, berries, vanilla, and oak. Medium light body. Maybe a hint of butter. Slightly tart. Dry, slightly tannic flavor. Some berries. Lots of vanilla and wood. Not the best.

Bottle - Funky stone fruit. Cloudy gold with a decent white. Tart berry and acidic notes. Dry finish and I don’t get lots of blueberry, but still nice.

375mL bottle, pours a cloudy dark golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is tart with lots of berries, though I probably wouldn't guess blueberries, with a jammy syrupy quality. Flavour is quite jammy, with blueberry jam, moderate vinegar, and a little acidity. Thick and viscous, with a lot of jammy and syrupy qualities. Good stuff.

On tap served in tulip. Clear tangerine color with no head, lightly carbonated. There is some blueberry in the nose but not in the flavor, which has more of a lemon tartness. Pleasant clean finish. A straightforward but very enjoyable sour.

Good balance, though still pretty sour considering it’s blueberry. A fair amount of citrus. Pinkish in colour. Bottle shared at Brony tasting.
