Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: dark brown color with a one finger of eggshell white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave just a little bit of lace
Aroma: vinous sour to tart tones, subtle oak, grassy hops, light berries, and sour cherries with a caramel malt backbone
Flavor: sour to tart up front with a gentle malty sweetness underneath; finishes dry, vinous and cherry-like
Texture: medium bodied, good sipper; some smoothness but also plenty of sour to tart aggression as expected
Overall: pretty good sour ale worthy of coming back to.

From a 75 cl bottle. Pours a clear deep mahogany with a thin off white head. Aroma of sour cherries and molasses. Flavors are moderately sour with moderately sweet pit fruit. Nicely balanced and smooth as a baby’s bottom.

Bottled. Clear dark brown, small head. Tart nose with cobwebs and red wine. Medium bodied with rounded mouthfeel. Tart and vinous with underlying sweetness. Oaky with black berries, grass and lemony cobwebs. Minerally finish with some some sugar and medium bitterness. Delicious.

Aroma’s the best part here with fruit caramel malt and sour. Flavor is similar to nose, much more tart than sweet up front, bitter in the finish. Good body.

Bottle sample at a tasting at troubles’s place. Thanks Alon. Deep amber-brown with a beige head. Aroma of oak, cherries, cobwebs, a bit of vinegar, lacto, a bit of caramel. Tart flavor with a light sweetish note, with lacto, oak, red fruits, cobwebs, a bit of vinegar. Medium-bodied. Very nice and balanced.
