Bottle at the radikal whale slaying. Thnx to Fonefan. Pours dark redpurple. Small white head. Smell is intensely fruity, mild sour notes. Taste is way better than the scent. Sharp, intense fruity, sour, complex, still balanced. Blackberries on the top. not sure I’ve ever tried boysenberries so probably won’t recognize them. I like this beer.

Bottle into a taster showing dark wine red with no head. The nose shows vinous sweet cherries and hints of raspberry. The palate is medium bodied and highly carbonated. Highly tart with dry but ripe and juicy blackberries and boysenberries. Amazing.
