Keg at MBCC 2018 Blue (session Zwei), 11/05/18. Reddish pour with a decent sized crimson cap. Nose is tangy red berries, wood must, funk, barnyard esters, hint of dry rot. Taste comprises tarte berry compote, stoned fruits, funk, wood must, acidic bite, damp straw. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced puckering climax. Ok sour ... like a lot of the US sour offerings at this festival ... just a bit samey and firmly stuck in 3rd gear !

MBCC 2018. Blue. Blood and Fists session. Keg. Hazy magenta beer, small pink head. Tart berries and a little lemon acid. Some floral berries before a tart finish. Not the most stupidly aggressive sour at this fest, couldn't drink much of it though.
