Tap - pours a deep hazy purple - rocky pink head - complex nose of tart, earthy fruit (skins, meat, seeds) - raspberry, blackberry, blueberry, lingonberry, snozzberry (okay, I lied about that last one) - nice texture of lively but soft carbonation - flavor is tart, lively, and complex, with prickly acidity, bright raspberry tartness, mellow blackberry - a lot of earthy, dusty, almost funky character through the middle, complimented well by the fruit skin flavors - some subdued, moderately bitter oak arrives late, complimenting the fruit acidity well - finish is semisweet, with a lingering acidic punch - a wonderfully complex and balanced fruit beer - fans of the New Glarus fruig beers should seek this one out - this isn’t as sweet as those, but utilization of fruit is almost as impressive as in those brews.
