Bottled 11/04/2010. Ripe, crushed raspberry aroma right off the bat. Reminiscent of a fresh LP Framboise. Puckering fruit cocktail is tannic with a "seedy" taste to it. Musty. Intense fruit depth; bitter yeast finish. Pretty interesting, and really damn good.

Bottle from thirdeye11..Pour is red with a nice white head..Nose is trat, raspberries, sweetness,bugs..Taste is tart,raspberries, oak,bugs,sweet,sour..Wow I love this stuff

Thanks to thirdeye11 for sharing this rare gem. The beer pours a reddish-pink color with a white head. The aroma is full of extremely funky raspberries. The flavor is similar. I get the funky raspberries as well as some yeast and biscuit malt. The beer is very tart and puckering. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Bottle at publick house. Neon red pink. Tart fruit, very acidic. Sour cherry. Unbelievably tart. Amazing beer

Received in trade from mixylplik3, thanks for the opportunity Matt. Pours a deep cloudy garnet red with a smallish pink tinged head that quickly dissipates to a ring on top. I can smell the tart as soon as I wrangle the cork out of the bottle. Lots of tart raspberries with a hint of brown sugar make up the bulk of the aroma. Lactic acid and funk provide support. The flavor is filled with lactic and citric acid. Lots of tart berries and lemons with just a touch of brown sugar. Light bits of funk come and go in the taste cycle. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a piercing light sugary tart mouthfeel. This is a very nice sour I quite enjoyed this.

Bottle at home with friends courtesy of Aaron. Thanks Man!! Pour is hazy pink with a small white head that quickly dissipated. Super funky, dusty, sweet cherries, raspberries, medicinal, horse blanket, tannic acid, grape skin, and oak in the aroma; super fresh. Taste is funky, citric acid, raspberries, cherry, oak, cheese, lemon peel, green apples, and bread with a lingering lightly tart finish. Medium body with soft carbonation. Super nice sour and pretty funky. Awesome beer and a true treat to try.

Bottle @ Stephen’s house, courtesy of Lukaduke. You are my fucking hero. Pours a beautiful, bright dark pink appearance with a small, off white head. Super bright, raspberry seed, quite funky, huge zesty fruity, lemon citrusy, somewhat woody aroma. Super beautiful aroma. Fairly cheesy, incredibly enveloping rich fresh raspberry flavor that completely dominates my palate. This is a bit of acidity on the finish but super bright, fresh, and juicy raspberry flavor. Tons of funk, dust, and some cheese. Unbelievable stuff. Fuck yeah.

Bottle shared by Thorpe429. Thanks Mike. The beer is pink with a small head. Fabulous aroma, teeming with raspberries. Smells like a fruit lambic - oh yeah. Grea taste. I’m a big fan of this one. Utterly delicious. Raspberries with sour funk. Reminiscent of Cantillon. Highly recommended. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 12-18-2011

2012 release. Pours a deep red color with a finger of pink fizzy foam. Aromas a basement funk a touch of phenols and a ton of fresh raspberry ! On the palate its tight fruit and dusty funk. Nice acidic backbone balanced out with bright raspberry with a touch of sweetness. Really refreshing with nice lactic sourness and some earthy mushroom, basement oak in the finish.

bottled, thanks to thirdeye11, pink colored pour , sour woody raspberries, white pepper, good beer
