Can from the lcbo. Red pour, small pinkish head. Nice fruity nose, soft lactic notes. Salinity is very present, along with a fruity, berry tangy finish.

Pours a red colour with a pink hue. The head is white, creamy, with a very light pink-red, decent stay and some creamy-foamy lacing spots. Berry nose with some hints of cherries and vanilla yogurt. Remind of Campino candies. Sour tasting with the mild blueberries. Gets a little hazy. Not completely on the blueberry side, but a nice sour fruity sour.

Can from the LCBO. Clear pale cranberry colour under a one finger lingering pink head that leaves spotty lace. Nose is blackberry, grains, light mint and some green apple. Flavour is lightly sweet with a medium berry tartness. Mouth is a touch thin with soft carbonation and a tart finish. 8-/4-/7+/3/15

473 ml can. Pours an orangey garnet color with no head. Aromas of dry earthy fruit and wheat. Flavors of watery powdered fruit drink crystals, and grainy wheat. Somewhat tangy finish. Blackberries are tough and this seems to be typical of a lot of beers that cannot successfully integrate the flavor and acidity
I apparently get the first rate on the set, both the raspberry and the blackberry. Taste is the tart sour indicative or a Berliner, very green apple sharp that lasts throughout. Mild almost wheaty malt, which tastes a bit thin, but this is in the session range. The blackberry rides right in with the sour, fairly balanced a touch sweet, but not by much. Decent,with lots of flavour for a session.
