Burnt orange in color with no head. Almost looks like a flat or soda. The aroma is so weak I couldn’t pick out any notes. Pleasantly Sour. Flavors: lemon, funk, yeast. Not much to identify. Feel: excellent carbonation, it wasn’t wasted on producing a head. Overall: lacks beer flavors, tastes like a lemon soda. Where’s the blackberry?

16oz can. No dating information found. Label has this information "BREWED AND CANNED BY ROUND TABLE BREWERY GARNERVILLE, NY".
Partly cloudy, dark orange colored body. Debris chunks sink to the bottom of the glass. Two fingers of off white head quickly retreats, leaving a minor surface storm and thin ring. No lacing.
Aroma of lemon and blackberry.
Taste is sour, with a sweet fruit counter. Flavors of lemon and blackberry, plus some lactose. Quick ending aftertaste.
Medium mouthfeel. Dry finish. Good carbonation.
Standard kettle sour with a good fruit infusion.
