Blended onto local damson plums that were used to create Jitterbug. The second use of this fruit exudes a more delicate plum presence.

Pours an interesting peachy color with fizzy, short-lived head. Aroma has plenty of metallic funk with faint, generic fruity notes. Taste largely follows. There's a good amount of funk, again with a little bit of a metallic edge to it. The plum is there, but its presence is discrete, like the guy at the party you vaguely remember but might have trouble picking out of a lineup. Light, lively, fairly dry, and easy going down.

Appearance: Pours a cloudy pink grapefruit juice color with a modest head that fades to a collar; dots of lacing
Smell: Tart plum and vinegar tones; funky and oaky
Taste: Acetic tart flavors from the outset with more vinegar than plum; very tart, throughout, slightly funky, with an oaky finish
Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation; puckery
Overall: More sour than fruity; quite a bit of pucker in the finish
