Ever so slightly hazy pink and light violet coloured body with a mellow golden glow and a softer, single centimetre tall, just off-white head. Aroma of mild soured grain, a dash of raspberries and blackberries with some brett and funky yeast components, but the soft clean fruit and sour/tart flavours are the strongest by far. Light-bodied; Strong fruity and funky soured flavours dominate with a light brett and yeast note that show a lot of dryness, but also a lot of smooth malt/wheat notes, especially at the end, but there is a small place for caster sugar and fructose to make this go down very easily. Aftertaste is smooth and crisp with the fruits, light soured notes, citrus and brett the strongest here with a slight dash of dry grainy malt and perfume to capture anything other than soured/tart fruits. Overall, a nice and very easy-drinking beer that still has a lot of flavours, especially for the alcohol content. Fairly good for this large/obtuse style category, but of course, not as complex as some others, but not a bad option, if you can find it. I sampled this sixteen ounce can, given to me by the GM of BlueJacket here in Washington, after a hockey game in Arlington (Ballston), Virginia on 29-January-2020 - Thanks Erik!

Pours a purplish-red, with minimal head that dissipates quickly. Aroma of berries, lactic acid, vanilla. Flavors include sour raspberry, marshmallow, graham crackers. It's sour, but not too sour. Very refreshing. Good combination of flavors.
