On tap at Other Half in Brooklyn.
Pours a vibrant dark reddish purple with fine, pink foam.
Smell is tart with notes of berry youghurt, raspberries and blackberries with a slight sweeetness in the back.
Taste is mildly acidic and tart, with notes of creamy berries and some youghurt.
Mouthfeel is medium, creamy and brightly carbonated.
Overall, a nice sour that would be even better with more tartness.

This one pours a dark-ish purple color, with a small head, and a good bit of lacing.
This smells like the three fruits mentioned in the title- what did you expect here? I also get some lactose.
This is very good, but pretty basic. It's mostly blackberry, but the other fruits come through as well. There's quite a bit of lactose, but it definitely helps cut down on some of the acidity that might come along with this.
This is medium bodied, very creamy, and with a great level of drinkability.
This doesn't exactly represent brewing excellence, but at least it's very tasty.

Poured from a growler filled at the brewery.
Pours a deep ruby color with a finger of pinkish-white head. The head leaves zero lacing as it settles into a crown. Beautiful color.
The aroma brings notes of blackberries, tart raspberries, and fresh yogurt. There's a nice boysenberry jam note on the back end as well.
The taste follows the nose: Raspberry yogurt, blackberries, and boysenberry jam followed by a hint of sweet bread on the back. Has a subtle tart finish with just enough dryness to keep you coming back for more.
The feel is medium bodied with moderately high carbonation. Very fluffy and creamy. Goes down smoother than Billy Dee Williams.
Overall, a great Berliner that is full of wonderful fruit flavors and has just enough tartness to keep the sour fans happy.

Can dated 11/14/18. Poured into Belgian tulip.
Look is dark red with a light pink head that sticks around pretty well for a sour. Nose is all the berries. Taste is all the berries with a medium tart finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied but more coat-the-mouth creamy feeling. Overall not much to be said, just a big time berry bomb. Better than average body though, seemingly from the lactose. Nothing like a Berliner really though, really just a fruity sour, either way it’s good stuff though.

Dark purple boysenberry concentrate juice-looking color with a finger-and-a-half of airy raspberry head that’s quick to dissipate.
Strong berry jam and light toast in the nose.
Lightly tart, lightly sour berry medley in the taste, fairly creamy, with a similar hint of toast as the aroma. The straight-up fruit juice really shines on the backend.
Full mouthfeel, lightly creamy, with decent carbonation.
Nowhere near as tart as it could be. Great berry flavors. Pretty easy drinking. Definitely not a Berliner Weisse, but certainly enjoyable. Can’t imagine folks who like this series not liking this one. 11/14/18 canned on date.
