Poured from a 375 ml bottle. Aroma is fairly berry forward with quite a bit of blueberry character as well as some lighter blackberry notes. Not very jammy with some nice tannins and skin notes. Light white wine notes with hints of oak. Light citrus notes in the acidity. Pours a hazy, reddish purple with a small, thin, slightly pink head that disappears to the edges immediately. No lacing or legs. Flavor has a medium light acidity with some light sweetness. Moderately strong berry notes with blueberry being more prevalent than blackberry. It doesn’t come across as jammy though with quite a bit of tannins and skin notes. Moderate white wine notes with oak and grape tannins. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice beer. The berry notes work well with the wine character and prevent the beer from coming across as too jammy and one dimensional. Acidity is balanced and not too sharp.
