(750ml bottle kindly shared by Herbalist, thanks!) Pours nearly clear gold with light pinkish highlights and a big loose white head. Raspberry is prominent on the nose with tart citrus, funk, soft oak and a little minerality in behind. Flavour is quite sour overall with candied orange, lemon-lime soda, moderate raspberry, lactic bite with hints of fruit vinegar, soft wood, a little cereal, interesting residual sweetness mid-sip washed away by salty minerality into the tart finish. Light to medium bodied, fairly soft but filling carbonation. Interesting brew, raspberry was quite prominent for second use, citrus made for rather high acidity, but certainly complex.
