440ml Can - Pours a pinky red with a very light pink 1/2 finger head that dissipates rapidly. Aroma is of raspberry and a hint of citrus, sourness is faint. On tasting, tart upfront but not overwhelmingly so, a nice touch of citrus too & dry. Really enjoyed it.

This beer pours pink, slightly cloudy but mostly clear. Hardly any head (poured from the 16 oz can, dated a little over a year ago). The smell is mild raspberry. The taste is raspberry, with some oak in the background. It's a bit tart, but I wouldn't really call it sour. It's quite dry, not sweet much at all.
It's quite tasty, with just enough barrel complexity to make it more interesting than just alcoholic fruit juice. I like it quite a bit.

Pours from the can with a brief pinkish 1.5" head that quickly foams off, thin ring and light lacing; color a brilliant punch red. Nose is very raspberry forward with mild elements of yeast, dough, and lemon; not getting much of the barrel on the aroma. Taste is also dominated by wonderful raspberry tartness mixed with the acidity of the base sour; very slight doughiness underneath, but the fruit and sour elements nearly drown it out. As with the smell, not getting any of the barrel. Mouthfeel is rich and juicy, but still refreshing. A refreshing sour that highlights raspberries, though a bit one-note and fails to deliver on the oak.

16oz can. Poured out a clear, dark red color with golden highlights and a small, pink head of bubbly foam. It left sticky rings of lace. It smelled strongly of raspberry, lemon and subtle caramel notes. Strong raspberry taste with a sour punch. Medium bodied.

First time rating, after having it a few times. On sale at Hazels in Boulder
A&S: fizzy light pink head and dies quickly. Transparent pink until you pour the sediment which transforms it into Aroma is a lot of berries (I am getting mostly raspberries and blueberries).
T&M: tart, with of course tons of raspberry. Not getting any oak. Carbonation is on the high side, but not as much as I expected.
Overall: Very well balanced beer, tart without being overwhelming and good flavor without being powerful.
