Bottle shared at Lucky Bamboo share. Pours a dark ruby to purple with a small bit of magenta colored head. Lots of jammy raspberry and strawberry in the nose with some light tart, under-ripe berry notes as well. Tart on the palate with more bright fruit that goes on and on. Not very beer-like as usual per Barrel Culture, but very enjoyable.

Bottle at Salud. Cloudy pinkish color of white head. Mixed berry aroma. Taste is pure acid. Undrinkable garbage. Hard to believe the brewery released this.

Bottle shared at Andrew's B-day bash. Pours a hazy, deep gold to light copper with a full finger of foam that lingers, then dissipates. Big tart fruit aroma with plum and currant notes. Maybe some pineapple in there, but can't really find it. Quite tart on the palate with young plum flesh, skin and stone on the palate. Some light sweetness towards the finish with a lingering dry, tart finish. Currant comes out a little as it warms and adds in a nice dark fruit sweetness that stands up to the acidity. Still solid even with the acidity. --- Beer merged from original tick of Fearless (Batch #1) on 16 Sep 2018 at 22:43 - Score: 8

Bottle shared at Andrew's B-day Bash. Pours a deep purple with a small bit of magenta colored head that dissipates quickly. Tons of blackberry, raspberry aromas with some vanilla cream as it warms. Tons of fruit on the palate. Creamy, fruit puree mouthfeel with a freezie pop finish. This is delicious, but it's not beer in the traditional sense of the word. --- Beer merged from original tick of So Icyyy - Boysenberry Pushpop on 16 Sep 2018 at 16:17 - Score: 8

Bottle shared at Andrew's b-day bash. Pours a clearish gold with a finger of foam that lingers. Tons of tart peach in the nose with some light lemon and vinegar notes. Acidic on the palate with young peach and more lemon notes. Quite tart and almost abrasive. Some sweet tart notes as it warms. Not sure about this one. --- Beer merged from original tick of So Icyyy Peachy Dream on 22 Sep 2018 at 22:55 - Score: 7. Original review text: Backlog from LB
