Fourth in our series of spontaneous sour ales. Fermented and aged in oak barrels - on yeast lies - with Oregon Blackberries. Refermented in this bottle - open with care. This is a Wild, Funky Sour Beer!

Bottle at the radikal whale slaying. Thnx to Anton ! Pours dark, unclear red/purple. Smell is intense, very intense, juicy berries. Mild sournote. very full! Taste is intensely sour, but with a very decent complexity underneat. Fruits are full-on intense, very juicy berries, mild sweet notes . Not sure how many kg’s of berries went in here, but i’m sure there were A LOT . Decent mf and low ( perfect) carbo. Starts of dry ( perhaps a bit too dry for me) but as soon as the berries kick in, the dryness is countered by the full fruityness. Extremely good fruitsour indeed !

Bottle shared by Greg, thanks! Pours a hazy near purple with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a rich sour blackberry with a light funk with a bit of light oak. Flavor has a great sour blackberry note supported by light oak and funk.
