Bottle at home in Canaan, picked up via trade. Cheers! Vintage bottled 15 July 2020. Pours clear, dull pink-gold with a small, foamy white topping. Lightly sweet with sturdy tart berry character, a bit of lemony acidity, seedy raspberry, low funk, a little pale wood. Light in body with spritzy, massaging carbonation. Tart and quenching to finish, lightly salty, with a little tart cherry, more lemon, tangy raspberry. Refreshing and delicious.

375 mL bottled Apr 7, 2020, drunk 8/12/23. Clear copper-rosé, small, off-white head to ring slowly. Floral, citrusy, juicy, good tartness. Lots of lemon and yogurt. Very dry, tart, light cracker from malt, big currant acidity, almost wax and plastery mineral. Juicy, tart, lots of lactic and fruit acidity but with soft malts. Great depth, tight carbonation and balance. Juicy as hell. Anna gets so good as it ages!

Bottle. Pours hazy reddish pink with a small to medium pinkish white head and decent lacing. Aroma is raspberry, hints of yogurt, currants. Flavor is light plus tart, light plus funk, restrained berries. Medium light body.

Bottle pours out pink red color topped with a small fizzy head. Nose is nice tart berries some light sweetness and plenty funk. Taste is more of the nice funky tart berries and a nice end.
