Bottle @ Greg’s house, courtesy of arminjewell. Thanks! Clear light yellow appearance with a bubbly, disappearing head. Spicy herbal floral, tropical fruity, peppery, potpourri aroma. A bit spritzy, apple cider, honey, spicy peppery, herbal/floral flavor. Kind of strange.

Bottle. Pours with a clear, deep burgundy hued body with a surprisingly retentive pink/off-white head that fades to a ring. Aromas are strongly of blackberries, currants, vinous fruit, black pepper, mild honey, light citrus peel, bubble gum ester. Flavors are medium sweet, Concord grape and a sort of artificial berry character (mostly due to the sweetness and lack of tannin). Light clovey euginol, peppery, jammy, slightly dry finish. Peppery back end. Off dry, medium body with a 2.55+ vol of CO2.

Sample at Lucky’s in Dayton. Pours like grape juice with a minimal head and decent legs. Aroma of berries and spice. Medium-bodied with flavors of blackberries, cherries and sweet cloves. The finish is fruity with a mildly tart blackberry taste. Decent overall.
