Draught at Ginger Man Boston, 9/13/18.
Cranberry-grape juice colored body is cloudy and topped by a pinkish head that recedes to cover.
Cherry-raspberry and perhaps some Brett? Or is that just the skin/seed character? Definitely some medicinal notes here, though I'm not sure if I can tell what they are, or even if they're intentional. Almost apple or peach-like, as well. Interesting fruit character and soft/even, as well. Not acidic/tart, really.
Raspberry-apple notes are strong up front and the beer is very dry, thin and quite undermalted as their beers have been so far. Definitely some weird off notes here, with dirt-like notes emerging. Although there's no malt character, the fruit is done quite nicely. With warming and breathing, some dry, leafy, vegetal and earth notes emerge as well. Weird stuff. Very little/almost no beer character here. Lots of odd phenol and medicinal notes though. Kind of comes together to taste like cherry robitussin, though without the texture of that.
