Bottle at the Kiselo Druženje (Sour Gettogether), 2017. Thanks, Šaba! Amber, small head. Wild yeast, fruity. Moderate sourness, strong! Alcohol is hidden, medium body, sticky texture. Nice, but not that impressive

Enormous thanks ot Iznogud and Beerandblues! Full dark misty golden body. Soft aroma of grapes, barrel and caramel. Sour, salty pefumey taste, strong sourness really, generally nice, but hmmm. Didn't rock my world, but doubtless, this is an excellent beer.

Bottle courtesy of BeerandBlues2, many thanks!!! Beautiful bright reddish amber color, thin off white edge head. Huge funky aroma with dusty cobwebs, attic corners, overripe white grapes. Taste is funky white wine, summer fruit. Fantastic.

12 oz. bottle, pours a cloudy dark amber orange with a tiny, quickly vanishing head. Nose is very funky, full of wild yeasts, grape must, red wine, and oaky. Flavour is extremely complex, with brett funk, red wine, and loads of zesty grape must. Very dry, moderately funky and very oaky and vinous. Finishes a little citric and vinegary, with medium sharp sourness. Great beer, just perhaps a bit too acetic on the finish.

Bottle thanks to Tom. Pours a clear orange pink with small off white head that diminishes quickly to nothing. The aroma is grape, wine, oak. Thin mouthfeel with strong wine flavor and grape with light sour finish. Wow really impressive.

Bottle thanks to the Dood! Pours a clear bright orangish red with no head whatsoever. Aroma has strong sour grapes with a good amount of green grape dryness. Flavor has very bitter green grapes with a decent amount of acid, light barrel and funkiness.

Bottle thanks to Ratman. Pours with a mostly clear strawberry red hue with a fizzy white head that succumbs to the acidity quite quickly. Aromas are very fruity and musty. Horseblanket, leather, barnyard, rich tannins. Lots of esters and fruit notes ranging from white sour peaches, tart cherries, watermelon and red currant. Deep wine and funk. Yogurty lacto. Moderate vanillin and lactone. Flavors are assertively sour and lacticlly tart. No acetic character at all. Hugely fruity and and lively grape character with further wine like notes of raspberry, tobacco and red currant. Mouth puckering sourness, mild funk phenols and brett character. Crisp red apple. Mild sulfur. Moderate tannin. Medium to medium high carbonation, puckering, dry finish. Has the playfulness of a lighter sour with the acidity and fruit up front, but finishes hearty and warming.
