On 33cl bottle at Haandbryggeriet Beer Festival. Pours clear mahogany with a modest, off-white head. Fairly fruity aroma with modest notes of red berries, yeast and just a hint of herbs. Moderate to medium sweet with nice sour berry flavours and a certain bitterness. Tasty and surprisingly easy to drink.

Dark color, almost black with a light beige head with short duration. Aroma has notes of ripe fruit, some acidic notes with roasted malts. Flavor is slightly roasty, burnt bread, dark ripe fruits and acidic mouthfeel with red wine notes. acidic final with slightly hints and some acidic at the end. Very nice!.

Bottle. Black with enormous, very fuzzy beige head. Because of the night carbonation also some sediment is rising to the top. Brown bread, roasted nuts, lots of sour red berries and gooseberries. Very fruity with some hint of toast and old coffee towards the finish. Later some plastic and burnt rubber. Medium sour. Medium bodied with fizzy carbonation. Not too complex, but srinkable beer. Alcohol is well hidden. Iām still not a huge fan of sour beers with dark malts but here it works reasonably well.

Bottle. Beermoth, Manchester. Clear, dark red. Dense, lasting, tan head. Nice, dark, sour fruits. Plum. Black cherry. Background of nutty, dark chocolate malts. Drinks tart, sour, fresh, fruity, slightly malty, and absolutely nowhere near 10%. Crisp, and slightly funky. Lots of carbonation complements the tartness really well. Finishes with more of the same. Good stuff. Not overly complex. Tart, and lightly malty. Silly drinkable.

Bottle pour at Stumbling Monk. I love how this place offers all ends of the sour spectrum. Super cola like pour. Huge fizzy brown head. A bit of a dark fruit, vegetal, aroma. Flavor is initially sour, but plum, grape and other dark fruit overpowers. Not in a bad way though. A ton of flavor here. Sour grape flavor lingers. Good beer.

Bottle shared late night in the hotel lobby during RBWG 2015. Pours Hazy brown with a creamy tan head. Tangy berries in the nose, faint metal. Medium sweet flavor, some juicy and jammy berries, bread. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Simple jammy fruits on the finish, bread, bready malts. Pretty OK.

Bottle - Malts, prunes and light sourness. Dirty brown with no head. Soured dark malts, dates and tamarind. Not great.
