Big thanks to Fletcher aka Hoppykillamonsta for this growler.
Pour is a nice light purple with a quarter inch of head. Split this three ways on Super Bowl and it was the highlight of a terrible game and other good brews.
Nice sour and mild tart. Really reminded me of the Side Project Blueberry Flanders I had at FOBAB. Just an incredibly delightful beer. Along with VSB this is one of the best sours I've had in a long while.

Served in a pizza boy snifter, poured from a 32oz growler
a very attractive purple/blue with a nice head after an aggressive pour. Picking up much if the wine barrels on the aroma, with a nice dose of the fruit. The taste is more tart than sour, but very drinkable. Medium carbonation and the wine really shows it's character as it warms. Glad I picked up a couple growlers on this but I'm not sure if they'll survive the next couple days.
