  • This beer was on tap at the brewery. For a 12 ounce pour it was $9.00.

    A pinkish red that is bold and beautiful in the glass. Not much head but that just means the glass was very close to full.

    Aroma has is tart with some wild funk with a touch of berry sweetness.

    Taste follows the nose almost perfectly. Tart in the finish, that lingers, but that is tethered back by the sweetness of the berries and currants.

    The mouthfeel is spot on: typical light end. No lacing.

    Taking away the price, this beer is outstanding. Adding back in the price point, it loses a few points. Really good beer that I would have again. I wish I would have had more time to taste their other beers. I did find a couple at a local beer store. Enjoy!
