Intro: A 750ml bottle at the brewery. I didn’t see a bottled on date but as this bottle had the newly printed red label, it was probably early 2016. Poured into a Cantillon tasting glass.
Appearance: It poured a clear strawberry red with a two finger white head that dissipated almost immediately and left sparse lacing.
Aroma: Light funk with fruity strawberry, cherry, grape and light oak plus floweriness.
Taste: The floweriness really comes out in the taste followed by grape, strawberry and raspberry fruit with bits of hay.
Mouthfeel: Light bodied with moderate carbonation.
Overall: Very nice sour with fruit. Not a big fan of the floweriness, but this was ok and not overpowering. Very easy and refreshing to drink.
