Dull, strawberry cocktail color as it comes out of the can. Ends up being more lively looking once in the glass, while maintaining that same overall color. Roughly a finger of fizzy white head. Aroma is pleasant, if somewhat unremarkable. There's some general funk and berry notes, but nothing that stands out. Taste is really nice. It's not overly complex, but it's tart, refreshing, and well done. The strawberries are nuanced, in a good way. I'll take this over a massively fruited beer any day of the week. Light to medium bodies, and relatively lively. Another good Speciation beer.

Released 9/12/20; drank 10/17/20 @ the Yarchives.

Opaque pink appearance.

A violent pour yielded a big white head; nice lace.

Strawberry notes in the nose, with sour AND sweet accents.

Medium mouthfeel.

TART strawberry flavor up front; mild sweet strawberry & faint wheat notes on the finish.

Fruity as hell, and intense; more sour than I can really handle, though.
