From the bottle. Red color with white ring. Aroma is too weak, mostly malts, muddy cellar yeasts. Taste is malts and an off vinegar sourness, some citric acid as well. Low carbonation. Not good or well-composed at all, too much malts and the sourness is completely off. Reading the other ratings I am not sure what I had here. Maybe the bottled version is different?

Minimal säuerlicher Antrunk, der in Verbindung mit den Malz gefällt. Erfrischend, leicht fruchtig, mit der Zeit würziger, leichte hintergründige Bitterkeit. Süffig, vergleichsweise unauffällig aber dennoch gelungen. 9/9/10/9//10

on tap at the brewpub, 0,1l sample. amber cloudy color, small off-white head. smells lightly sour, fruits, cherries, malt sweetness, honey, citric notes, oranges. full body, bubbly carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes acidic, citric, lightly sour, sour cherries, strong malt backbone, grapes, underlying also some sweetness, some warming alcohol (not noticeable on taste though). finishes dry with citric and acidic notes. a bit weird, not what you expect as a sour, malt backbone is too dominant, but I kinda like it.

Tap at Wiener Bier Fest. Very nice colour, clear red-brown. Aroma is rather mild but the taste is all in. Moderate sourness, general fruity flavour, light light roasted in the finish. Easily drinkable. Very good.

Draught at Brauwerk Wien.
Dark red, slightly brownish, hazy body, with a medium, frothy, light beige head.
Aroma with a balanced sourness, cherries, sweet and sour berries, barnyard, overripe fruits, bread, some leather, some hops.
Taste follows this, with some more sourness, zesty hops and subtle sweet malts.
Medium, oily mouthfeel, with a lively carbonation.
Finishes sour, dry, quite bitter, a bit tart, zesty, a bit leathery.
Very nice. Really complex, with a lot of variation, sour, fruity, hoppy, bitter and sweet. Therefore doesn’t drink as easy as other beers of this style, but still quaffable. Overall not among my favourite sour beers from Austria, but another high quality output from Brauwerk.
