Shared at Dangerous Bottleshare #7. Pours murky dark red/purple with a pink shortlasting frothy head. Aromas of blueberries, raspberries, raspberry seeds, strawberries, fruit yoghurt, lacto sourness. Taste is sour up front, sorbet, sour blueberries, sweet blueberries, raspberries, seeds, strawberries, lacto sourness, dry fruity finish. Never had I ever had a american sour that was this fruity and fresh. This is downright amazing.

Bottle at RBSG. Purple color with a fine pink head. Smells sweet and ripe with berry jam, blue berries and what I?d associate with raspberries. Tastes fruity and funky, finishes a little dry. Lots of fruity sweetness and plenty of sour.

Bottle - Sour Berry mixture. Purple with a small white head. Soured red fruit, blueberry peeks though and a big hit of acidity.

(On tap @ CBC 2016 Yellow Session, Copenhagen) Pours a very deep and dark red-purple with a huge pink head that fades. Aroma is quite tart lactic acidity and sour berries, but also sweet notes of powdered sugar on blackberry and mixed berry notes behind, a hint of malt, nice balance. Flavour is semi-sweet to start, blackberry, black currant-like notes, yoghurty lactic acid underneath, quite rich fruit overall, drying in the finish with a bit of oak and berry seeds. Medium oily body with soft effervescent carbonation. Really nice fruited Berliner, great balance, not an acid bomb at all. Played tricks with me though, I’d have sworn it was a blackberry beer.

Poured from a 750 ml bottle. Aroma is fairly berry forward with a moderate lactic note and some yogurt. Light citrus notes with a medium light leafy, tannin note. More of a boysenberry character than blueberry, but the blueberries add a slight phenolic note. Pours a somewhat hazy, reddish purple color with a medium large, thin, frothy, slightly pink head that recedes quickly to a thin film that lingers for a bit on the edges. No lacing or legs. Flavor is moderately acidic with a lot of berry notes. Medium light citrus notes and a bit of yogurt. Lots of boysenberry notes with some lighter blueberry character. Medium light tannins with some leafy notes and blueberry phenolics. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium high carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice beer. Lots and lots of berry notes, mostly boysenberry but some blueberry. Nice tannins and herbal notes balance the fruit. Not too sharply acidic either. A nice Bu.
