Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: semi-dark copper to amber/faded purple color with a thin white semi-foamy to fizzy head which quickly died off and didn't leave any lace
Aroma: semi-sweet to tart blackberries - slightly fleshy; then sly grassy hop spiciness with a touch of Belgian yeastiness
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together fairly sweet yet spicy and a touch of tart & sour aspects as well; light aftertaste of the blackberries
Texture: light to medium bodied; between sessionable and being a sipper; not exactly smooth along the tongue - enough tart/sour harshness; finishes with the blackberries tart to sour to subtly sweet character
Overall: fairly nice blackberry sour ale, I believe I could come back to.

Opaque pale pink color with a funky fruit aroma. Taste is mildly sour, slight berry sweet and tart, a little flat tasting.

Canned 5/16/22, drunk 8/21/22. Mostly clear, peachy-plummy-bronze-copper. Small, pinkish-plum-tinted head shows low retention. Juicy, not too acidic nose with moderate lactic acidity and sparse, somewhat rustic/grainy malts. Blackberry is well-represented but not overdone nor is the kettle souring punchy/twangy/sharp. Soft and juicy in the mouth with plentiful tartness and a light brace of both malt and fruit sweetness that balances the moderate lactic and berry-like acidity. Clean, tart, lightly juicy.
