500 ml bottle. Aromas of blackberry, lavender, vinegar, a sense of pie crust and cinnamon, but I don't think they were included in the recipe. Pours hazy magenta with a one finger purple-white head that falls into a ring pretty quickly. Taste is highly tart (8/10) with blackberry pie and lavender flavors. Perfect mouthfeel with near foamy carbonation. Delicious stuff.

500ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, pale chestnut colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Tart-ish, intensely fruity and herbal-spicy aroma with a perfumed and floral touch, notes of blackberry and lavender in a totally coalesced mode, additional hints of honey and other dark berries, some cherry and morello, cinnamon, some lime tartness. Taste is tart-ish fruity and mildly herbal-spicy, notes of blackberry, morello, hints of dark berries, lavender, diluted hints of honey with a floral touch, some cinnamon, a touch of lime; sadly minimally watery passages. Fantastic composition, very harmonious, balanced, integrated. Superb!

Small but stable white rim over fully hazy reddish-amber beer. Lavender, cinnamon, red/purple fruit. Cinnamon (added, I suppose), fruitacids, nice fruitacidity, but the fruit itself is not recognisable. Lierse Vlaaikes, speculoosspices. Quite slick despite some acidthinning, some astringency. MF is not its forte. Not bad, but the blackberries are overpowered by the dessertspices. OTOH, proof that beer CAN go without hops. 8/4/8/3/15

Sample at Hops & Pie during the "GABF Week, CSA Portfolio Tasting" on 10/04/2017. Hazy pinkish-orange color with a medium thin white head that diminishes gradually to an outer ring. Strings of lacing. Aroma of tart berry, lavender, yeast and malt. Light to medium body with a floral and fruity blackberry and lavender character, with some yeast and biscuit malt in the background. The finish is oaky with a berry aftertaste. Pretty good overall.
