Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: dark maroon/red color with a quickly dissipating head which didn't leave any lace
Aroma: red raspberry and blueberry sweet and tart qualities; good funkiness; nice sour backing
Flavor: intertwines the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to sour to light tart and funky quality; finishes with a variety of blueberries and raspberries
Texture: medium bodied, great sipper; some smoothness and a touch of acidity that seemed barely noticeable, to be honest
Overall: what a wonderful fruited sour ale more than worthy of coming back to.

Bottle from the source: pours pinkish red with a small white head. Aroma is blueberry, but I think the raspberry is stronger. Lightly funky. Very soft, but addictively tasty. The fruitiness is not very sweet, but it is very pleasant. Clean.
