This is a barrel-aged wild ale on black currants, cherries and raspberries. The result is a fruity, jammy, and luscious wild ale.

Received in a trade and shared with JLindros.
A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a nice deep red berry juice hue with a thin purple head that fades to leave no lacing or retention.
S - Big aromas of bright, seedy red berries. Jammy cherries as well while still smelling like it'll be rather tart.
T - Taste is similar to the nose with loads of tart berry juice. Rather acidic, cherry pits, almost lactic. Bright berries, however, there is some lingering acidity on the finish.
M - Mouthfeel is very lightly carbonated, body is light, finish is flemmy.
O - Overall this was a decent enough beer, the nose was great but the taste was much less with the mouthfeel was really poor.

Thanks to rudzud
Light fizzy purple head fades instantly, dark purple reddish maroon color, mostly opaque
Nose tons of berry, super berry juice bomb, various coloured raspberries and black currants, light tart sour base, even a little chocolate like and acidic
Taste pretty tart but not crazy, sour berry and plenty of black currants, mild raspberry and blackberry puree almost sorbet like, mild malt but barely, very flemmy finish, fair acidity and a little weird tangy thing, very slight metallic
Mouth is med to lighter bod, decent med carb, tangy flemmy
Overall meh, started nice then went not so good later, nothing special
