32oz crowler. Poured a black color with a small tan head. Aroma was roasted malts, light coffee. Light vanilla. Creamy, really nice, not overly roasty, not to heavy, not too light. Really pleasant.

Got in a trade with The-Adjunct-Hippie. 12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, best before 9/6/2017. Pours slightly hazy pale golden yellow/light orange color with a 1 finger fairly dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a minimal spotty lace cap that lingers. Minimal spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of sour/tart/tangy raspberries, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, lime, orange, citrus zest, pear, green apple, melon, white wine, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread, light pepper/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of raspberries, lemon zest, fruity/acidic yeast, and moderate pale/wheat malt notes; with good strength. Taste of sour/tart/tangy raspberries, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, lime, orange, citrus zest, pear, green apple, melon, white wine, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread, light pepper/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tartness, fruit tang, and light spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of sour/tart/tangy raspberries, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, lime, orange, citrus zest, pear, green apple, melon, white wine, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread, light pepper/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of raspberries, lemon zest, fruity/acidic yeast, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; with a great malt/tartness and tangy fruit balance; with no puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Moderate increasing dryness from tartness, tangy fruit, and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/acidic, and fairly tangy/tannic balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 3.5%. Overall this is a delicious fruited Berliner weisse. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of raspberries, lemon zest, fruity/acidic yeast, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the modestly acidic/tangy/drying finish, not overly lactic. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Great balance of jammy raspberries, lemon zest, and Lacto complexity; with a nice pale/wheat malt backbone against acidity. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

On tap at Coppertail, pours an opaque yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out fresh peaches and some wild yeast. Flavour is loaded with tart peaches, with medium acidity, and light wild yeast. Puckering and acidic. Pleasant stuff.

On tap at Coppertail, pours a hazy bright pink with a small white head. Aroma is very musty, with lots of grape must and a touch of wild yeast. Flavour is along the same lines, with plenty of grape must, earthy notes, and wild yeast. Quite herbal and crunchy. Bizarre.

On tap at Coppertail, pours a hazy murky dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out musty berries, with some earthy notes and light lacto. Flavour is very earthy and muffled, with lots of dirt and obscured fruits. This isn't dialed in well at all. Ugh - not good.

On tap at Coppertail, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out toasted malt with a hint of cocoa. Flavour is along the same lines, with chalky cocoa and light toasted malt. Chalky palate, with a dusty cocoa-y finish. Meh - I don't get the high ratings here.

Poured at Shelton Festival, hazy pink with small off white head. The aroma is raspberry and wood. Thin body, tart berry, oak, light finish, very good.
