Can from Corti Bros. Pours rosé with a whitish head. Aroma of raspberries, and arguably cherries. Approaching med body. Flavor starts with a wheaty note, and then there are mixed red berry flavors. Dry. Not bitter. For me the wheat thing is wholly disastrous. Leaving a really bad taste in my mouth. There were a lot of good indications at the start, but the finish is really distasteful. Meh.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours translucent, perhaps hazy, gold with a slight white head. Aroma of guava and arguably some sort of white wine. Near med body. Flavor is predominately guava with some white wine aspects and detectable wheat. Guava saves the day - resisting the wheat. Very, very nice flavor. Like guava a lot!

Pours a bit hazy amber from a bottle. Sweet peach tea aroma mingles with some vinegary acidity. Tart as all get out, with some sweetness. Finishes like a bit of tannic tea. Good beer.

Capped 375 from Corti Bros. Pours translucent redberry with a pinkish smear. Aroma is perfumy floral with wine notes. A tad sourish. Med body plus a bit. It's tart and mildly sour. Chamomile is detectable, and there's some astringent wood - but there also seems to be quite a bit of redberry; likely from the barrels. Moderately tart/sour; fairly towards dry. Good stuff.
