Brown body with a reddish tint and okay foam. Sweet floor cleaner on the nose, maybe soft floral notes, funky in an awkward way. Flavour is sweet fruity notes and a hint of malt with a thin mouthfeel; not nearly sour enough. Okay, but certainly not great.

Bottle - Earthy dark sour notes. Jet black with a small beige head. Dark, fruity, vegetal and sour. Not sure what is going, but obviously too much and too messy.

On tap at Barney's, pours a deep dark reddish brown with a small beige head. Aroma reveals notes of balsamic, perfume and tons of floral notes. Flavour is not too pleasant, with lots of lavender upfront, followed by perfumey floral notes and some balsamic. Not a cohesive or complex beer. Bad concept and poor execution.
