At the Firestone Walker IBF 2013. A beautiful pour with a pink rosy foam head. Raspberry taste is there and not too sour. Can’t tell if it is a fruit beer or a sour but the berry is great.

On tap at FWIBF. Pours a deep red with no head. Aroma is raspberry and acetic centric. The taste is more raspberry with some acetic tones and a nice malt backbone that lets you know this is a beer/wild. The sour element doesn’t come into play until the finish which really works. This is a nice beer though the carb level could be upped.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
On tap at Firestone Fest
Nice raspberry aroma with light funk and acidity.
Clear red color with small thin white head. No lacing or legs.
Flavor is similar to aroma with nice tart raspberry flavor, balanced acidity and light funk.
Mouthfeel is medium light with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth.
Overall a very nice beer with good fruit without being too fruity. Good funk to match raspberry notes.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Backlogged rating: Pinkish hue with a lively head. The aroma has notes of raspberries and vinegar sourness with some biscuity malts and slight band-aid. The taste is rather straight forward sourness and fruity notes supported by light malt notes. A touch of barnyard as well. The mouth feel is lively and sharp, watery. Better than The Wild One but still seems simple and not complex like the better sour’d brews.
