On tap at McGillicuddy's, Williston, Vermont.
Appearance: dark amber to semi-violet color with a bar pour's kind of head which fell off and didn't leave any lace
Aroma: blackberries and red raspberries - sweet, tart and sour; light citrusy hop underneath
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together nicely to have a semi-tart to sour and sweet vibe to it; mild aftertaste of those fruits
Texture: medium bodied - maybe just a touch under; between being sessionable and being a sipper; some tart gripping my tongue but not overbearing; finishes clean through those fruits
Overall: I'd say a very nicely done fruited sour ale I would return to.

473ml can. Murky, pink-ish, purple, golden colour with small, frothy, fading, pink-ish, off-white head. Sweet-ish, fruity aroma, notes of red and blue berries, raspberry, bramble, some blueberry, redcurrant, blackcurrant, slightly lactic basic layer with a sauerkraut touch, a fruit acidic touch, a sweet-ish touch of lactose. Taste is sweet-and-sour, fruity, slightly lactic, citric and fruit acidic, notes of red and blue berries, raspberry, bramble, hints of redcurrant, blackcurrant, blueberry, minimally dry, oaty, malty basis, subtle lactose sweetness. Minimally pulpy, watery texture, minimally astringent palate, slightly prickly carbonation. Nice, pretty fruity composition, good balance, a tad too sweet to be really refreshing. Pretty much OK.

Deep dark and super muddied ruby and brown coloured body with a thinnish, one to two centimetre tall off-white head that fades quite quickly, with a very opaque look that shows perhaps 10 to 15 per cent of the light. Aroma of tart berries, brett and lactobilly funk with some lactose on the edges and a noticeable amount of both yeast and wheat, all with some lighter coriander seed notes. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong tart blueberry and light raspberry note with some sweetness from strawberries and grapes and a touch of the coriander seed to make this a bit fresher, but all supplied by a surprisingly large amount of wheat malts and a dose of sweetness on the end, of course from all the fructose. Aftertaste shows the dryness from the malts, but a lot of very tart and fragrant berry flavours that show some light sweetness, but mostly a tart and soured finish along with a good clean and easy-drinking wheat and herbal profile. Overall, a fairly nice beer that shows a sort of hybrid blend of a sour and a slightly heavier berliner weisse, but fairly clean and flavourful, with some tart and soured fruits and a lot of sugars at the tail end. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Hy-Vee Grocery in Papillion (Omaha), Nebraska on 21-January-2020 for US$4,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 23-May-2020.

Tap at Cap Tap. Pours hazy pinkish approaching red with a pink tinged head. Aroma is very light berry - mostly rasp. Med body or a little more. Flavor has dark berries, but they are a bit occluded by the lactose. Insane amount of berries? Hmmm. Very, very, very, lightly tart/sour. Not really dry. Mildly sweet. Quite drinkable, if you aren’t looking for a sour. :)
