500 mL bottle poured, picked up at Garden Path, Bellingham. Bottled 9/1/2021. Dense reddish orange pour, thin head that fades. Tart mixed berry nose. Not as rhubarb defined as I thought and hoped on both aroma and flavor, but its there. Tart stone fruit and mixed berries sit well ahead of a gentle oak. Moderate funk and barely rich honey linger. Really easy drinking brew, and much more on the tart side than I expected. Delicious layers of sour berry flavor. Love this brew.

Bright red, vibrant, no head. Tart, soft berry, nice rhubarb, it goes well here and lends a lot of depth and complexity.

Poured from the tap (from notes July 13, 2022 w/berko). Hazy deep red with small pink head. Boysenberry and hint of vomit on the nose. Fresh rhubarb and boysenberry taste. Enjoy the taste more than the nose.

On tap at Garden Path, pours a vibrant bright red with a large white head. Aroma is earthy, with lots of rhubarb upfront; the boysenberries take a backseat along with a touch of bugginess. Not the best aromatics. Flavour is more berry-like, with lots of red berries, restrained by the rhubarb earthiness. There's a touch of wildness but it's tempered. Good stuff.

Tap. Hazy red color with white head. Aroma is berries upfront, a bit rhubarb too, berry pie. Taste is the same, tart bite, a bit simple. Mineraly bite, low carbonation. Simple but tasty.
