Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: orange to copper color with a quickly dissipating head which didn't leave any lace
Aroma: tart and sweet nectarine fleshy and skin accents, vinous, vinegar, subtle grassy hops and citrusy tones
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together in a sour to tart sort of way with a vinous sweet edge underneath; finishes with the nectarine sweet and tart notes
Texture: medium bodied, this is a sipper; plenty of sour to tart vibes acting harsh to the tongue
Overall: nicely done fruited sour ale worthy of more pours.

Bottle to chalice.
Appearance: dark red/mahogany color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: some dark fruits, some Belgian candy sweetness, but also some funky to sour accents with some earthy & orange pulpiness underneath
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fair sweet to sour and funky & tart quality; finishes the same way
Texture: medium bodied; good as a sipper, some smoothness but also a good deal of dryness
Overall: I don't see this as a Belgian quad, it's something like that but also seems to have morphed into something else. Would I have this again? I think so and it would probably be a good ender to that night.

Can from Total Wine in Vacaville, CA. Pours somewhat hazy light raspberry color. Aroma is sour in a lactic way. Med body. Flavor is quite raspberry, but there's significant sour/lactic. Very dry indeed.
