Bottle: pours clear garnet with small white head. Aroma is plum and blueberry of course, little bit of mineral and a touch of light funkiness. Taste is lightly tart, clean dry fruitiness, but has a little but of sweetness at the finish that gives the beer a little more heft over its diminutive size.

Bottle at home shared with the fam. It pours clear rich purple with a decent fluffy pinky white head. The aroma is delightfully funk upfront, brett, barnyard muck, must, juicy, tangy, ripe blueberry, crunchy plum, jammy and vinous vibes. The taste is crisp, dry, slightly lactic, tart, tangy, quite vibrant, vinous, puckering, juicy blueberry, bramble, plum, plout, touch of granny smith apple, quite jammy and sherbet with a dry finale. Light body and soft, fluffy carbonation. Delicious and crushable. Plenty flavour for the abv. A fine beverage.
Drinks super easy. Lots of natural plum and blueberry flavor. Not too funky, not too sweet.

Brewery draught, 7/14/23. Bright blueberry juice. Good clarity and head. Nose is just outrageously aromatic. Blueberry (moreso than plum) for days. Coupled perfectly with light, mellow lactic acidity and moderate Brett. Substantial, biscuity/wheaty grain in support and so much funk and mineral. Blueberry is rich, flavorful and perfectly macerated. Light plum contributes additional complexity and light acidity. Phenomenally deep malt texture for its size with so much soft chew to it. Dry, clean, just wow....
