(Growler thanks to bu11zeye) opaque ruby red with no head. Nose of acetone, berries, and alcohol. Taste of lactic acid, acetic acid, sugar, very tart, but undercarbonated a bit. Good but somewhat unbalanced.

(Growler, via BMan1113VR ) Pours a clear cloudy ruby body with a spare white head. Aroma of berries, some acetone, yogurt, and light vanilla. Flavor of ollaliberries, raspberries, and subtle acai bitterness. Nice acidity upfront with a dry finish.

Thanks to bu11zeye for sharing this growler.
The beer pours a hazy pinkish-red color with a white head. Strange looking beer. The aroma is vinegar with some fruit notes. Not sure what the fruit is, but I guess it is ollaliberry and acai (neither of which I have ever smelled or tasted). The falvor is very tart berries and is very dry. Juicy and fruity. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Very drinkable. Very good.

Very delicious sour beer with barberry flavor. It smells a little like acetone, but the taste more than makes up for it.

Had on tap at Bootleggers Brewery. Pours a reddish/purple/brown with little to no carbonation and no head. Aroma is very strong of berries, acid, and fruity sourness. Flavor is very sour, good fruit flavor, nice strong lambic tones, and a bit of lactic acid. Small particles were present, but overall I found this a very strong lambic and I went back after the taste and got a half pint. Lovely sour.

On tap at the Brewery. I don’t really love the flavor of Acai, and the brewer, Aaron, says that the oils in the berries kills the head, so I acknowledge that. Pours with a murky red body with some particles. Aroma is sharp, fruity, berry, acetic and vanilla. Taste is fruity, acai (which I don’t love), sour, acidic, acetic with some fuzzy berry bits. Lively bubbles with a dry and acidic finish.

A: The pour is a dark purplish color with almost no head but some tiny carbonation bubbles are visible on the top of the glass.
S: This is one acidic smelling beer. A hint of vinegar, but lots of berry notes. And by a lot, I mean that’s just about all you smell. Lots of great tart berry flesh, skins, and maybe a bit of oak.
T: The flavor is sharply tart, especially up front, but settles down a bit throughout the sip becoming slightly sweet on the finish. Slightly acetic with a more lactic sourness followed by great berry flavor that is slightly tannic. The finish becomes a bit Sweet Tart like at a few points throughout the glass.
M: The body is fairly light, but I don’t mind that in a sour. Light to medium carbonation and only moderately dry.
D: I liked this one a fair bit. The flavor and aromas were nice, but the mouthfeel was a bit weak. Other than that, a solid beer.
