Bottle@Home. Raspberry and cherry pits aroma. Hazy, red colour, pinkish small h, fair lace. Sweetish, sour, light bitter, raspberry, woody, tart. Flavourful and balanced. Great stuff!

Bottle. Rich reddish-purple beer with an off-white head. Dusty, raspberry, earthy, tart aroma. Tart, raspberry, duty flavor that turns sour. Medium body. Lingering earthy notes with raspberry and a nice sourness. Great complexity and very refreshing.

Bottle thanks to wetherel: Pours a hazy ruby amber with a thin ring of wispy-lacing off-white head. Aroma of lightly sweet pale malts and big sweaty leathery funky tart fruity rasperries. Body starts slightly oily and earthy sweet with nice tart fruity complexity and oaky balance. Finishes leathery and tart with mild sweetness. A nice fruit lambic.

Bottled. Pours out in a hazy reddish oale colour with a low pink head. Strong acidic and fruity aroma of cherries, wood, wild raspberries, mild grapefruit, and fay. Dryish, acidic and fruity flavour of blackberries, cherries, wood and bretts. Long acidic and sourish finish of cherries, hay and wood. Damn nice!

pours a bright red with no head. Super funky sour nose with some berry tartness with a small hint of cherries on the flavor.Finish was tart as well.I am typically not a fan of this style, but felt this was well done and enjoyable.

750 mL bottle purchased at Liquor Max in Loveland, CO. Pours hazy ruby with an average, fizzy, off-white (ruby) head, mostly diminishing with spare lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (bread, hay, straw), average hops (flowers, grass), heavy yeast (horse blanket, barnyard) with notes of raspberry. Light bodied, sticky texture, lively carbonation, and a bitter finish. Long duration, light sweetness, heavy acidity and bitterness.

On the RBSG 2008 bus - also served by Dr. Bill (if I remember correctly). Pours cloudy dark amber reddish pinkish brown with a white head. Nice tart, berry-like funky/horsey nose. Whoah, pretty damn puckering sour - notes of lemon, citric acidity, berries, strawberry and no shortage of brett funkiness. Very well-attenuated, light bodied with moderate carbonation. Very good.
