Cédric worked hard on this one, bringing a blanket and some DVDs to the brewery to keep a round-the-clock eye on the lowering mash pH. This beer had lactobacillus added to it before having the house yeast added on top. It has powerful Pear & Strawberry notes on the nose with a tangy zip of sourness.

On tap. Pours a reddish copper with light head. Aromas of light red berries and a little wood. Flavors are same with only a light tartness. Thin. Not offensive but nothing special.

On tap at Barley Brothers. Pours a clear amber red with a near white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma is full of sour red fruit with a bit of raspberry and a touch of oak. Flavor has a nice sour red fruit note with a bit of acid and a light oakiness.

Draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver
Dark amber color with red shades, small head. Aroma of paper. Dry mouthfeel, sour, with little flavor, a bit bready, and no exciting traits.
Sour beer, very generic, no Red Flanders here.

Draft - Cherry, blackberry and pomegranate. Deep clear copper with a decent beige head. Slightly tart pomegranate and Berry juice. Tart and light acid in the finish. I love the style, this just didn’t work, tastes like juice.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a clear dark copper amber with a medium beige head. Aroma brings out notes of vinegar, sour dark fruits, and Worcestershire sauce. Flavour is less vinegary, revealing notes of tart stone fruits, light vinegar and a little bit of funky yeast. Not a very complex sour brown, but it's drinkable. Decent, but lacking.
