On draft at Caps & Taps. It pours a light orange color with an off white head. The aroma is strong with peaches, apricots and some light notes of graham cracker and barrel. Not getting the raspberry. The flavor is very intensely sour with a good balance of fruity of peach, apricot and raspberry. Little funk. The acidity is pretty clean with some light graham cracker malts in the background. A bit too strong with the acid, like most RB sours, but I enjoyed the five ounce pour I got. Any more would be too much.

Bottle share. Peach colored body with small, active head, fizzy carbonation. Aroma leans more on the fruit essences, leaving the tartness in the back seat. Big fruity flavors abound, with a tough of sourness, not overdone. pretty damn smooth
