Sample (thanks fonefan!). Golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is floral, fruity, some slight nectary tones with a nice tartish edge to it. Flavour is tart fruits, some berries, wood and some slight acidity.

Spon Raspberry (2023) from Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project

7.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 8
On tap at Belmont Station Bier Cafe, pours a clear hot pink with a small pink head. Aroma has tons of juicy, tart raspberries, some funk, and gentle bugginess underneath. Flavour is intense, with very juicy and very tart raspberries, more sugars than desirable, and a touch of funk. Tart, juicy, funky and a bit too sugary on the finish. Very good.

6.2/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
On tap at The Beer Mongers, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma has a herbaceous grassiness, light wild yeast, and some earthiness. Flavour has lots of herbaceous notes, light phenols, grass, and tart citrus. Definitely has some undesirable phenolic notes — burnt rubber, car tire, etc. This needs some cleaning up.

Gucci Mango from Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project
2 years ago
5.5/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 5 Flavor 4.5 Texture 10 Overall 2.5
Pint Can. Hazy dark yellow color with a medium sized white head that has good retention. The aroma is medium-strong with mangoes and something grainy. The taste has some mango, but there is also a good dose of cooked vegetables. The palate is light and crisp with soft carbonation. Finishes short and weird, Overall: Not so good, almost a drainpour. I regret buying a four pack, but a reputable brewer like crooked stave seemed a good bet.
