Deep dark brown coloured body with almost no head at all - what is there is light tan. Aroma of super soured wine, grapes, passionfruit, guava, barrel and soured yeast with a touch of fructose, some light wheat and a heavy hand of sour candy. Light-bodied; Strong vinous and big grape notes with bunches of sour quality, showing a light grassy and subdued wheat and malty note, but the sour and barrel foeders show through everything with a light passionfruit and guava fruit-based sweetness at the end. Aftertaste shows some light grain, but this is all about the soured qualities with wine, white grapes, yeast and grassy finishes with an amazing, well-rounded and almost bittered finish, just due to the sourness and nothing to do with any hops at all. Overall, a great beer with an amazing sour profile that shows the light maltiness, some cereal, a ton of fruit-based sweetness that leads to the nice sour qualities and a complex finish that makes this great, and easily worth trying if you can find on tap...still a bit hard to buy a whole bottle, for sure, though. I sampled this ten ounce pour on draught at the beach at Humpy's Big Island Alehouse, a few hours before leaving Hawai'i (island) on 03-January-2019, purchased for US$13,00.

Fat på MBCC 2018, grönt pass. Mörkare rödbrun med beige krona. Doft och smak av burgundy, kolaremmar, rödvinsvinäger, mörka körsbär och körsbärskärnor. Frisk och pigg syra, snäll ekon och överlag bra fatkaraktär. Gott!

Draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver
Cloudy red color. Mild berry aroma. Good body strength, strong sourness, maybe some residual sugars; the berry flavor reveals elderberry and blackberry mostly, well integrated. The alcohol is noticeable. Burning beer, in a good way.
Really good.
