Pours light amber, quite hazy. Wide bubbled white head recedes quite quickly, leaving minimal lacing. Quite intense aroma shows strong acetic sourness upfront, nice fruity notes of apple and currant plus lighter citric notes, a hint of spiciness and some funkiness (barnyard). Nice and vivid. Taste notes follow the aroma, with a significant sweet malty base (caramel most noticeable) to bring balance. Sourness is still quite present, but the beer doesn't feel very sour in the overall taste experience. Finish and aftertaste are semi-dry with a fruity reminiscence. Medium bodied with average carbonation, overall a bit more vivid/carbonated than your usual sour, which probably helps with drinkability. Overall: a well made, pleasant/easy to drink sour with good enough complexity.

Hapu, funky, nisune, mahe, nats sidrunit, kuiv, väga puuviljane, natuke mineraalne. Väga mahe ja väga hea. Suurepärane tasakaal.

Bottle. Beer Merchants. 2021 job. Orange amber. Fine white head. Nose has spicy malt. Spicy hop leaf. Sweet balsamic. Taste is sweet and spicy. Gets bitter and woody, with a vine fruit dryness. Easy drinking with a modicum of tartness. Fine sharp carbonation. Leathery and funky finish. Top quality gear.

Backlog January 2010. Golden body under a small white head. Nice, fresh fruity aroma with some acidity and cellar notes. Taste is smooth and fruity, acidic, mild funky, some apple cider and lemon. Medium body and tart, acidic aftertaste. Refreshing.
