Bottle shared at Fermentoren, Copenhagen. Big fucking thanks to Mike Arquines. Pours light hazy yellow with a small white head. Aromas of kiwi, citrus, wild strawberries, white vinous notes, oak, vanilla, lactic sourness. Taste is lots of kiwi, dry vinous notes, wild strawberries, lactic youghurt, vanilla, oaky finish. Not a fucking crazy beer, but damn, this is good. Really good!

Bottle shared. Slight hazy golden with super short lasting white head. Lots of lactic notes up front, sour white grapes, some hay, strawberries on the nose. After a few sips I get light sour gooseberries and some old strawberries, kiwi, green apple, lemon, sour grains, light funk, moldy dough and white bread. It’s quite lactic, but there’s a nice balance with the fruits and grains. Medium sour. Under medium bodied with fizzy carbonation. Quite nice for an American sour.

Bottle shared, big thanks to Maakun. Pours very hazy clear golden to copper with a very short lived white head. Aroma show up the kiwi and strawberry, citrus, white wine and lactic aspects. Typical US sour but not obnoxious in the lactic qualities. Flavour is light sweet and moderate sour. Light to light medium bodied with light carbonation. It’s no Belgian lambic but still a tasty US sour with the wine barrel aging balancing it out quite nicely.

Bottle. This is one I thought I would never try. Kudos to OC_Beer_Fan! Pours hazy golden, small white head, good lacing. Aroma is huge stonefruit, kiwi, strawberry, stems and skins. Flavor is light tart with a hint of tangy funk, loads of fruit; like an adult version of the Hanssens soda. Medium body. Really good.
