At MCBT. Salmon pink color with a tart berry aroma. Sour nutty and acidic. A bit of chocolate in the finish. Alright.

Bottle shared at Andrew's B-day bash. Pours a clearish ruby pink with a finger of foam that lingers, then dissipates. Huge young tart plum aromas with wild berry notes as it warms. Some lingering funk underneath, but overall quite tart and acidic compared to Junebug. Lingering tart berry, bitter skin and strong ume notes.
