On tap at Imperial Bottle Shop - SE Division, pours a cloudy dark peachy amber with a small white head. Aroma is full of tart berries, some prickly pear, no hint of the lactose. Flavour is full of prickly pear and tropical fruits, a hint of sweetness, and juicy fruity punch. Nice blend of elements, with the lactose thankfully not being very noticeable. Good stuff.

Had at Bad Jimmy's. Opaque, pale, thin head. Peach and lots of stone fruit on the nose. A touch of tartness but mostly peach and tartness, with a bit bitterness.

500ml (thx, Alex Ch. for a pick-up and keeping it during 2 waves of COVID!) @ Ryan's. Appearance: very dark brown with a beige head. Aroma: a lot of vanilla, bourbon. Taste: along the same lines, overpowering vanilla with a lot of booze. Overall: too rough, harsh, and unbalancced, unfortunately.

Bottle shared by Matt: pours red with a white head. Aroma is raspberry and blackberry and some brett. Taste is funky, raspberry, blackberry. Not sour. Smooth. Tasty.

Poured from 500mL bottle (abv listed as 7%) aged for at least 1.5 years (probably two - supplied by Fiery1). Purple-ish red with small off-white head (some sediment chunks near the bottom of the bottle). Lots of berry notes, mostly raspberry with a bit of blackberry pith, jammy, mild tartness and acidity, touch of lacto. Quite nice. I'm guessing the aging mellowed out the tartness (noted for potential future Urban Family purchases).

On tap at Juxt, pours a clear bright golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out bright, fresh coffee with some freshly baked bread. Flavour reveals the fresh coffee upfront, backed by baked bread and a hint of roast. Nice earthy coffee character on the finish. Solidly made.

On tap at Juxt, pours an opaque purplish red with a small pink head. Aroma brings out plenty of lacto upfront, with jammy blueberry and a touch of tartness. Flavour is tart, jammy and yogurty, with a sour blueberry skin character, some jam, and lots of yogurt. Typical cheap kettle sour. The fruit content is not jammy, fruity or just assertive enough to make up for the lacklustre base. Pretty uninspiring and weak.
