Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: golden copper color with a quarter finger of white foamy head which settled fairly quick to leave some spotty yet somewhat sliding lace
Aroma: bright red raspberry tart and sweet qualities; subtle lactic but also light Brett, sly vinous further underneath with an even lighter lemony pop to it
Flavor: marries the prior noted aromas to a fine tart to sweet to subtle sour quality; finishes with the raspberries and lacto vibes
Texture: medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper; nice enough tart aggression as expected onto my tongue
Overall: nicely done raspberry sour ale worthy of seeking again.

Bottle from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours translucent pink with a whitish head. Aroma is raspberry, but it's a bit weak on the tart aspect the berry usually projects. Not quite med body. Flavor is sort of dilute tart raspberry. Clearly sour, but not very. There's a earthy/wheaty thing lurking in the finish. Easy drinking sour; not challenging.

Draught @ Almanac Taproom and Beergarden, SF. Pours slightly hazy red orange with an offwhite head. Aroma of light sourness, malt, tart fruit, raspberry. Flavor is light sour, malt, tart fruit, red berries, raspberry. Medium body, average to lively carbonation, light acidic finish. Nice, but im not a big fan of raspberries. 180718
