Berliner but not a kettle sour! So rare these days. Tangy floral citrus explosion.

Bottle shared in Hudson. Pours mostly clear yellow with a slight, foamy white head. Lightly sweet, big apple character, light musty cellar, subtly bitter apple skins, mild acidity. Light bodied with delicate, massaging carbonation. Pretty clean finish, more lightly juicy apple. Sound.

Bright clear golden beer with no head. Musk, hint of chlorine, white wine. Dry mushroom flavour, again dry white wine (if not top-quality). Ultra dry, uncarbonated. Not really great.

Bottle at home in NH - picked up from the blendery. Pours clear, light pink-red with a fading, foamy white head. Quite a fetching aroma, berries, perfume, old wood, currants. Lightly sweet with sturdy acidity, woody dryness, old berries, damp wood, lemon, jam. Light to medium bodied with spritzy carbonation. Clean and dry to finish, decent bitterness, pits and berry skins. Nice depth. Great stuff overall.

750mL bottled Mar 11, 2020, drunk 7/31/22. Clear, bright peach-apricot with little/no head. Heavy lactic acidity with plum skin and tart plum acidity. Touch of acetic character, with rustic wheat and other grains and light vanilla hints from oak. Juicy plum and strong sulphur/funk with heavy wheat slickness and moderate lactic acidity. Great malt/wheat texture and depth with full attenuation and pretty minimal acetic character. Tart Brett and more plum skin and funk linger alongside big bursts of acid. Quite sour, borderline fatiguingly-so after one glass. More acetic acid in there than I first thought, I guess.
