(375ml bottle) Clear pink-orange pour with a tiny ring of white bubbles. Aroma of mixed berries, raspberry most obvious, cherries, berry skin, lemon-orange citrusy acidity and peel, lactic bite, very light funk, oak. Flavour is quite acidic, tart cherry, moderate raspberry, tannic berry skins, lemons, high lactic component, soft to moderate vinegar, drying oak, but still sour into the finish. Light bodied, very low carbonation. Not my favourite Almanac, the fruit quality is a little retiring and the overall acid profile plus light body doesn't have perfect balance. Decent.

Bottle from the Woodland CostCo. Pours hazy rhubarb color with a transient whitish head. Aroma is very berry in a mixed way. Med body or so. It’s somewhat tart, and very berrry, and I get raspberry and cherry, but can’t find the blueberry. Goes well with fresh blueberries. Pretty nice with fresh raspberry too. This is really good Almanac.
