Opened about 1 month after canning. Didn't pour any foam surprisingly. Looks like a watered down berry juice. Smells similar to other fruit sour beers you may of had. Sours aren't entirely my thing so please excuse the lower rating. It's awesome if you like sour beers though.

Tastes primarily of mixed sour berry juice that has some tartness and sweetness to it. There is a mild grain taste that follows. Very easy to drink and would be an awesome mid-day summer beer. Besides fishing, some of my favorite things to do during summer would be just sitting on the deck with the dog getting some Vitamin D and Vitamin Beer at the same time while enjoying a good home cooked meal.

Summer is coming to an end with grey rainy skies, quicker sunsets and colder evenings now. Although I actually prefer Bellwood's JellyKing Mixed Berry beer a little more, I may be on the look out next summer for this exact same beer by Side Launch. They offer online Ontario shipping so give them a try.
Mountain Lager and Wheat beer are my favorites by them. Stay safe out there and I'll catch you guys next Summer.
