Heavily white wax bottle (2016). Poured into two tulips. The dark purple pour white foamy pink head looks uber delightful, spotted lacing throughout. The smell is jammy berries, funk, strong oak, some wine characters. Taste is straight tary beery jam. The barrel characters come out in the end which finishes this off very nicely. The feel is full, jammy, slick, and a tad dry when swallowed. Overall i think this is a sleeper of which I'll look for other of their fruited BA sours!

Appearance is a beautiful pinkish red with no visible and a nice mild carbonation.
Nose is cherries skins with a slight hint of vinegar
The taste is like carbonated cherry nectar. Tart and sweet and very lively. Lingers on the back of the tongue. Really nice.
This is noW one of my go-to trade items when I want to send a good local beer. Top notch
