Draft. A red beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of brettanomyces, straw, and malt. The flavor is sour with notes of brettanomyces, malt, and berries, leading to a dry finish.

Bottled 11/12/2013, drunk 2/5/16.
Lightly gushing, black cherry-to-magenta-amber body shows a light haziness despite my best efforts of mitigating the gushing. Huge head is light beige and well-retained.
Very fruity nose also shows a good deal of acetic character, with very light chocolate from the malts and tons of earth and horsey brett. Lots of pepper, but no alcohol or flaws.
Quite sour in the mouth, with the malts adding bread, dry chocolate, and light, dry toffee. Plentiful amounts of acetic and lactic acid with tons of fruitiness and a lot of hard mineral character from the water and yeasts. Bone dry, exposing light to moderate astringency.
Very silly to call this "Another failed attempt by the Americans at sours", as does tderoeck. Is this a Cantillon or a 3F? No. Is it trying to be? No. Yes, this has perhaps a bit too much acetic character coming off as lightly chemical in nature. Have I found this character in many, many lambics and other Belgian sour ales? Absolutely.
It’s a fine attempt at a sour ale and obviously brewed with a high degree of care and quality.

Bottle. Nose of dust, caramel, raisins, coffee, and a bit of bandaid and glue. Quite sour--more than expected--with green apples, minerals. A bit too medicinal and astringent. Weird, interesting stuff, but not quite right.

From tap at Copenhagen Beer Celebration 2014. Copper color with red notes and off white head. Malty and yeasty aroma, caramel, wood, spicy, funky, fruity - berries. Sweet and light acidic taste like aroma. Medium almost thin to oily body with soft carbonation.

Draught at the brewery, almost no head, cloudy orange color, aroma of sour fruit, vinegar, some maltiness and a hint of rubber, fruity flavor, lightish sourness, light but empathic bitterness. Nice and easy.
