Ruby red body and cloudy with a light pink two finger head. Spotty lacing.
The aroma is delicate black currant and guava with a sourness of pickling liquid.
The taste is, no surprise, black currants and guava. Hints of wheat. Sufficiently minerally and sour with a nice peppery bite from the hops.
Smooth mouthfeel and the body is on the lighter side of medium. The active carbonation and dry, sour finish make it a delight.

Interesting and delicious wild ale! Poured cold from a 16-ounce can into a wine glass. Appearance leaves not a thing to be desired. Cloudy, pale ruby color with a pinkish highlight or two and a dense snow-white head that stuck around for a while before receding to a thin ring. The aroma is heavy on the funk, with notes of light bread and a little sour fruit. The flavors really come alive after the beer warms a little from fridge temp. The blackcurrant, guava, and vanilla take center stage. There is a touch of pleasant salinity, as well as some sweetness and body (I'd guess from the lactose). Just the right amount of tartness and a very clean finish. This is lip-smackingly good, well thought out and well executed.

Purple ruby color. Pink head.
A massive amount of fruit here. Some sourness. So much black currant and guava. It’s like a smoothie. Some citrus/light acidity.
Easy drinking. Very nice.

Pours a very hazy, vibrant pink/purple colour. Smells slightly tart, fruity, definitely get the balck currant, smells crisp and clean. Tastes lighter than expected, slightly creamy? more tart than sour, juicy black currant, sugared guava, resfreshing and crushable.
