Draught at the brewery, 1/5/19.
Brilliant, clear, violet-cranberry-magenta. Pinkish head fades quickly to a ring.
Moderate lactic acidity combines with the tart blueberry acids while a healthy biscuit and light cereal backing more-or-less balances the nose. Perhaps a bit of excess lactic character though maybe it's just due to the seemingly very high attenuation of fruit and malt. Still quite bright and clean, though, with no alcohol noted.
Quite dry and fairly lactic in the mouth with lean finish filled with a good deal of cracker, tart blueberry acidity and lactic acid. Somewhat fizzy/sharp carbonation at times and not all that supple in texture, but clean and straightforward with good, albeit extremely attenuated, blueberry character.
