Draught @ MBCC 2017. Pours dark reddish with a smooth head. Aroma of berries, tartness, mild sourness and farmyard. Taste is tart and funky with some sour berries and earthiness. Finish is tart, fruity and slightly juicy with some berries. Okay.

Bottle, hotel tasting RBSG PGH 2016. Hazy pink color, off white edge head. Wow, I actually get the fennel in the aroma! Also some dust and berries. Taste is softly sour and earthy berries, maybe some fennel at the finish. Tasty.

Poured from a 375ml bottle. Aroma is moderately fennel forward with a slightly lighter blackberry character. Light oak notes and acidity with a light herbal and moderately floral note. A large gusher. Pours a murky, light purple color with a large, thin, slightly pink head that quickly recedes to the edges. No lacing or legs. Flavor is moderately acidic with a light sweetness. Moderate berry notes with some lighter fennel. Light oak notes. Light floral notes and some herbal phenolics. Hints of honey and lemon. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium high carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a decent beer and the blackberry and fennel work better than I was expecting. The carbonation needs work, but lots of berry and yogurt notes.

Bottle thanks to SilverFalcon! Pours hazy rose, small white head, decent lacing. Aroma is blackberry, licorice. Initially medicinal but that fades a bit with breathing. Flavor is light tart, berries, licorice, light funk. Light body. Decent, but honestly would be improved without the fennel.
