Poured from 650mL bottle. Hazy pinkish orange with quickly dissipating off-white head, fair bit of carbonation activity fizzling after the head dissipated. Guava, raspberry, light brett, a bit of minerality. Decent.

Murky copper with a frothy white head. Soured guava. Nice guava, raspberry and a light finish. Touch of tartness, but really well balanced and fairly well presented.
A hazed pinkish ale with a thin lacing white head. In aroma, sweet raspberry jam with light acidity, light tropical fruits, light guava, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity raspberry jam, light acidity, light mineral notes, light woody notes, light lactic notes, very nice.

Bottle. Cloudy and pink. No head. Both fruits come through in the aroma, but it's like 60% guava, 40% raspberry. Gentle tartness, very light brett character. Not getting much of the wine barrel, but sweet guava rolls through the middle and then there's a bit of bright raspberry in the finish. It's actually more sweet than tart, but has a fair bit of complexity. It's a different fruit combo, and while it's not cohesive the fruits do seem to play off of one another. I'd be curious to see this base concept used with other weird fruit combinations.
