Served in an imperial nonic pint glass
This beer pours a purplish red hue. It almost looks like tomato juice but not quite red enough. It is topped with loose bubbles that dissipate quickly.
Strawberry and raspberry are at the forefront. Big tart berry aroma. Cherry is a little subtle. Hints of graham cracker.
Strawberry leads the way. Raspberry adds some tartness. The cherry is really subtle. I don't get any graham cracker. Oh wait, there it is.
Full bodied with a thick mouthfeel
Fruity, tart, and thick AF. Pretty good

Tastes like forest berries with a sweet nutty cream that balances the strawberry bite.

Very interesting sour offering here that offers a beet ruby appearance in the glass with haze and lots of fruit sediment. The hazelnut and vanilla additions come through strong in the aromas alongside a rich jammy berry character. Flavors are more raspberry/blackberry dominant with just a hint of nuttiness. Amazingly thick and viscous mouthfeel for the ABV. I usually find beers like this to be a bit gimmicky/non beer-like, but this one was pretty awesome. Probably my favorite offering from Great Notion to date
