Burgundy red. Minimal head. Nose is beets, root and balsamic vinegar. Cherries and blue cheese. Very acidic. Fruity like dark fruits, oak and melons. Just so much vinegar.

Aroma has some light pineapple and tropical fruit with moderate lactic acidity. Moderate citrus note. Pours a slightly cloudy yellow gold with a thin white head that liners on the edges. Flavor has a nice light but noticeable acidity with a nice lemon character. Light sweetness in the finish. Moderate pineapple and tropical fruit notes. Mouthfeel is light bodied with medium acidity. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall a pretty decent beer and better than I remembered when I had it last time. I’d prefer for a bit less sweetness though. Hint of an odd note that isnt diacetyl but is close.

Tap @RateBeer Gallery II. Pours clear chestnut, small tan head, good lacing. Aroma is oaky, vinous, tart cherry, dried fruits. Flavor is a bit sweet at the beginning and very dry afterwards, vinous and lovely, medium plus tart.. Just a touch of astringence. Light bodied and very drinkable. Nice.

Tap @ City Beer. Pours deep brown to black with a small tan head and decent lacing. Aroma is cherries, oak, tart lemons. Flavor is the same, light sweet, light tart with a dry finish. Picked up something that I thought was a bit odd but couldn’t place - now I realize it was raspberry after reading the description. Medium body, oaky, fruity and nice. Re review on tap at trb. Amazing raspberry jam.

Tap @City Beer. I wish I had better notes, but here goes! Pours hazy golden with a small white head and some lacing. Aroma is bretty and fruity, with notes of oak. Flavor is light sweet, light tart and just a little touch of funk. A bit of woody astringence as well, but not a lot. Lightish body. Nothing amazing, but a pretty solid house beer!
