Can from Cap Tap. Pours hazy/translucent red (berry) with a frothy pink tinged head. Almost pink. Aroma is incredibly berry with an oak aspect. Med body. It's mouth pricklingly sourish, but well within the range where a sour beginner wouldn't roll over and die. Just gasp!!!!!!!!!!! Flavor is very mixed berry. Oak is present, but not obvious. With time it goes sour/tart rather than sour. Some sugar even pops up with each quaff, but it does not persist. Definitely not. In the finish it puckers the mouth. Quite an interesting, different and awesome (I'll buy into that with this ale), sour/wild.
