I believe this was their first sour, and aside from their superb NEIPA lineup, this brewery now has a bunch of great sours. This is thick and berry-forward, one of the OG sours that got me buying the style regularly.

16oz can, no date...bought at the brewery 3 weeks ago. Opened 10-13-19.
1" pink tinted head retains well and falls eventually to a cap. Very appealing red/pink beer - close to opaque.
Bright fruit nose, smells like fresh raspberries and strawberries.
Sour, tangy fruit...salt gets the saliva going mid palate, wheat malt (?). Nice fresh and tart fruit flavor...not artificial at all.
Medium body, medium carbonation...mouthfeel is thick, not stout-like but thicker than expected from a sour. Quick, fairly dry finish.
Good to very good.
Enjoyed this on tap at the brewery and brought home a 4pk. Unique.

Crowler from December.
Gusher in the glass with a purple-red body and a pink voluminous head. Zero retention or lacing. Grape and raspberry juice in the nose. Medium bodied with a tacky, almost syrupy mouthfeel. Welsh's grape juice on the palate with a hint of tart raspberries. Finishes with grape and raspberry.

Sample at the NH Brewers Association Brewfest. Hazy light red color with a small bubbly white head. Lemony tart intense pucker factor with a strong raspberry flavor to help counter.

Just a fantastic beer in every way. Pours a nice light red color with wonderful aroma. Excellent flavor with just the right amount of tartness. Not in your face at all, very drinkable. Well done

Pours a very attractive strawberry juice looking and leaves some nice white webby lace, had it as part of a flight at the brewery.
Smell Rasberry, honey, lemon peel, apple, and grape.
Taste follows musty, rasberries, apple, honey, lemon, and white grape.
Mouthfeel is pretty light, enough life to hold your attention, maybe a tad dry from the puckering sour apple flavor, and drinks plenty easy, but loaded with flavor.
Overall this isn't my normal thing, but I feel Nate and Sam nailed it. I could actually drink a pint of this and be satisfied.
