16oz can served in a cool old 1962 World's Fair glass I found in my VRBO. Dated 12/??/21. Received from @superspak in NBS BIF #15.
Pours a murky red-pink, small head. Ton of sediment came out in the last few ounces of the pour. Smell is kettle sour and berry jam.
Taste is moderate kettle sour, and tons of berry.
Mouthfeel is medium and very dry. Overall, not bad.

Purchased as a single 16oz can from The Blue Door for $6. Poured into a tulip glass.
L - Pours a hazy dark magenta, with a two-finger fluffy dark pink head. Great legs on this one.
S - Plum, lemon peel, and currant. Heavy on the fructose. Little bit of oat on the nose.
T - Heavy on both the boysenberry and plum. Notes of blackberry, huckleberry, and currant. Citron on the finish. Tart and sweet throughout.
F - Medium-bodied, with fine carbonation. Crazy drinkable. Refreshing.
O - A pretty good sour. Does exactly what it set out to do, and satisfies my expectations for it. Tasty and refreshing. Definitely recommend.

Pours a cloudy plum color. Nice aroma of raspberry and some plumb. Flavor is a nice mix of raspberry and plumb, which I wasn’t sure of at first... light sourness mixes with moderate sweetness. Fairly tart but not overpowering. Carbonation is good.

-very pretty ruby can pour with a thin white foam ring.
The aroma is bright with fruit and tart notes.
The flavor is also tart with lemony sumac aspects. The raspberry is more prominent than stone fruit.
The body is light. This is a very tasty wild ale.

16 oz can, canned 12/19/19, purchased in Huntsville, AL.
Parish Teku.
Deep burgundy color with a creamy bubble gum pink head of 3 fingers, recedes to 1, leaving lots of lace on the glass.
Sour vinegar notes in the nose with slight acidic bacteria and a follow-up of urine, hay barn, alfalfa fields, and dark berries. The hay barn/alfalfa thing takes me back to childhood. It's uncanny.
Flavor is huge, just huge. An open of blackberry pie, followed by vinegar and acidic bacteria, some hay, dark berry skins, black cherry, and golden plum. This is incredible.
Feel is acidic, tart, nipping, with a good level of carbonation, nearly undetectable alcohol, and a biting finish.
Overall, just an absolutely incredible sour ale. It might be par for the course there, but we don't get stuff like this where I'm from. This is blow-the-roof-off good. Definitely check it out.
Price paid : $3.99 / can
Would buy again : hell yes

Presentation: 16 oz. can with the canning date printed on the bottom. Served in a Rastal Harmony tumbler.
Appearance: The pink, one finger head goes away almost immediately and leaves behind some lacing in small patches. It's a murky, bright, pure blood red color.
Smell: It's a strong, fruity flavor of fresh plum, boysenberry and raspberry.
Taste: It's a mouthwatering, tart and sour, flavor with fruity notes of boysenberry, raspberry, black cherry and plum. There's a warm, bready, pie crust note to wrap things up and balance things out.
Mouthfeel: It's medium bodied, with a crisp, high carbonation bite. The fruitiness does get a bit cloying after a while.
Overall: This is a very tasty beer but it is crushingly sour so you have to appreciate what it brings to the table to really enjoy it.
