This one pours a reddish color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.
This one smells like venous red wine, dried blackberry, juicy pomegranate, and some floral funk.
You don't see pomegranate all that often in wild ales, and it's done pretty well here. The light addition of blackberry adds a dark jamminess to it that works well, and there's lots of wine barrel, dark and oaky.
This is light bodied, slightly jammy, and very drinkable.
This has about the same enjoyment level as #13 - it's a good section of the series for sure.

500 mL Bottle. ABV 6.5%.
Appearance: Veiled and inviting raspberry red, Under a finger of pale pink head, Lively carbonation.
Aroma: Wild yeast, Dark berries.
Mouthfeel: Not quite medium body, Low to medium carbonation, Slight pucker, Bubbly/Frothy when swished even a little, Dry finish.
Flavour: Pomegranate dominates, Wild yeast, Vinous, Dark berries, Funk.
Overall: I always want a few more pomegranate arils, and with this, I just wanted to have another sip. Very drinkable. It's pricey though.
