Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: slightly purple to maybe deep pink sort of coloring with a fairly quick dieing foamy head which didn't leave any lace
Aroma: sweet and tart blackberries, slight sweet wheat, subtle lemon pulp further under
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to tart and light sour sort of quality; finishes blackberry-ish with the sweet wheat and finally adds in a pinch of salt
Texture: medium bodied - maybe a touch under; leaning towards being sessionable; some sour to tart character does feel weaponized against the tongue
Overall: nice as a fruited sour ale, I can get behind that but there's no gose in this thing, not to me at least.

Can, date is illegible, drank 6/24/24. Bright cranberry-elderberry. Small, pink head to ring. Clear. Good balance, not too much of any acidity. Decent salinity, juicy berry and faint wheat or something like that. Not overly aromatic, but clean. Really nice balance in the mouth. Good malt, biscuity-chewy wheat and not overdone acidity. Low salinity, good fruit character and lingering malt. Good use more acidity, a bit more salinity and a leaner overall feel, I think.

Pours bright red with a thin lacing white head. Aroma of salt and lactose, raspberry. Taste has sour notes, distinct stone fruit elements. Palate has much of the same, some lemon, some blackberry elements. Good.

Pours deep ruby-tinged magneta into a snifter. Pink head with little retention recedes to hug rim. Lemon and blackberry aromas. Crisp with sweet elderberry (I assume) turning quickly to lactic crushed aspirin and lemon zest before the medium length pie crust finish.

4 oz draft. Shows a clear purple appearance. Aroma is reminiscent lactic acid, lemon juice and mild elderberry. Flavor is a direct reflection.
