Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: burnt orange to copper color with a sly transparency along the edges of the glass and a quarter finger of white foamy head which dissolved nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: peachy flesh and skin, blueberry flesh and skin, light lemony notes, some allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas together in a sweet to spicy and subtle tart sort of way; finishes the same way
Texture: light to medium bodied, good sipper, good amount of smoothness, spices seem fairly restrained in their assertiveness
Overall: nice fruited tart ale worthy of coming back to.

Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: orange color with a half finger of white foamy head which dissipated at a nice pace to leave some light lace
Aroma: plum sweetness and plum skin tartness; slight lemony sweet & tart whiffs, subtle funk, light sweet grassy tones and a little bit of sweet wood
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a semi-tart to sour to sweet quality; finishes the same way
Texture: medium bodied, good sipper; some light smoothness but also some tart stabbings to the tongue with a little bit of dryness
Overall: nice plum sour/tart ale worthy of coming back to.

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.

16 oz can in a trade with Clarkvv. Thank you! Aroma is oak, mild vanilla, soft acid. Flavor follows with some sharp acidic character. Strawberry and vanilla are here but very lightly nuanced. Decent.

Bottle pour at the DCBeer December 2025 share. I had this a while back, but not sure what batch it was - this one was batch 4. Poured a hazy ruby color with a off-white head. Aroma was sour fruits. Flavor was fruity, with a moderate amount of acid. Profile was pretty acidic. Tasty.
