Pint can from Beer Run, 5/9/21. Rating as many different states in a row as I can without repeats. Starting on 5/4: IL, CT, NY, VA, TN, IA, MN, AZ, OH, FL, NM, MI, TX, CO, CA, MO, MA, MD, WI, and now VT. Hazy amber, large frothy off-white head, good retention. Aroma of funnnk, pepper, oak, dark fruits. Taste is tart berry, berry jam, funk, lemon. Bright and juicy, lingering tartness. Currant is mild, but its there. Overall pretty nice.

Draught at Publick House, 5.19.17.
Light haze. Purple burgundy cranberry. Dark beige head is big and recedes slowly to ring.
Acetic acid mixes with caramel-vanilla and bits of berry. Light oak, low toast. Some pepper phenol.
In the mouth, the acetic character is a touch too dominant while it's very bready and malty, though still attenued properly. Berry is shortlived and tart, enjoyable but just not enough. Acetic acid and bready specialty malt gets tiresome over time. Clean though and pretty good, maybe just too old?

From my brother: pours reddish clear with a white head. Aroma is black currants and lactic acid. Taste is rather sour. Nice fruity notes. Fruity aftertaste.
