Draught at Row 34, 10/3/18.
Cloudy maroon-raspberry. No head.
Leafy, light, delicate floral notes showcase the raspberry very nicely with gentle lactose and vanilla behind it. Lightly juicy with not-overdone lactic and malic acidity on the finish.
Wow, that's fuckin nice! Lactose and raspberry juice mix together very cohesively to give a highly flavorful character. Soft, malty and dry with just enough sweetness throughout. The vanilla is delicate, spicy and perfectly done. Really just a kettle sour/milkshake with only vague bitterness at best. Lightly biscuity malts behind provide appropriate texture and carbonation is light and tight with no alcohol or flaw.

16oz can pours a ruby grapefruit red with some ringing, white head. Nose is inviting, tart berry, raspberry, some orange, malt, a little candy, a little berry sorbet. Flavor is good, maybe just a bit simple, berries, grapefruit, sherbet, orange, the vanilla is there. Smooth finish, lightly sweet. Enjoyable but not the best from them.

16 oz can poured into a tulip. Split by DCLawyer, thanks Jason! Hazy pinkish red with off-white head. Aromas of berries, funk, light floral notes. Tastes of berries, lemon, floral, vanilla, tart notes. Medium body with a dry finish.
