Draft: Poured an amber orange with a creamy white head. Aroma is grainy, light fruit, and watermelon. It tastes watermelon bubble gum, bit off grain.

Bottle at CBJ Sit-In. Murky dark brown. Beige head retreats to the rim. Aroma is sour with peripheral dark fruits. Flavourwise it's sour and vinous with underlying dark fruit. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish.
