Aroma is blackberries/raspberries and grains/malts. The flavor is raspberries/blackberries, malts, slight salt and a mildly sweet/puckering tart finish.

Pours a pale red/pink color, with a head similar to a sprite. Smell like a berry-esk sour, cant really smell the cherry. Tastes like a raspberry just before fully ripened, with the little extra sour and tartness you get. Once again not tasting much cherry but i noticed a slight bing cherry flavor. The carbonation is actually pretty decent, its pretty mellow, which would make for a refreshing summer beer to be drinking while being out in the heat. If you can get your hands on it and you like sours give it a go. Just dont expect it to knock your socks off or anything.

Decent sour that I will have from time to time. I taste mostly raspberries. Body is opaque pinkish color, good carbonation. Refreshing to drink in the summer on the patio.

On tap at St. Burch. Wow this is red. Not very ''beer-y''. Ok on hot day, not overly sour.

Pours vibrant cloudy red. Aroma is raspberries, wheat and mild spices. The flavor is raspberries, cherries, wheat, and malts. Sweet and tart finish. Smooth mouthfeel.
