Corked bottle at Hamnmästaren, Malmö, bottled 9/2012
Hazy red color with persistent small head. Strong acid aroma, but with too much acetone, and light fruits aroma. Dry and astringent flavor, very sour, nail polish, lemon, light raspberries.
The acetone component is unbearable; wrong beer. I was smelling a different bottle the next evening at Söder om Småland, and it was the same.

0.75l corked bottle From 2012. A lovely deep, warm red colored blurry one. Not much if a head on this. The aroma is also really rich, fruity and delicious. Lots of fruity refreshing cherries, yellow gooseberries, blueberries, grains and even a little bit of vanilla. Brett sour and just really something! The banana flies are gathering up quite strongly after I popped this, so won't be totally shocked if I'm going to have a couple of them in my belly tonight. It has a soft but exciting carbonation level and the moutfeel is really gliding and oily. Lovely fruity flavors. This tastes quite special. Light acidic with just a hint of white wine vinegar, lots of cherries, grass, red currants and brett. Yeah, no problems finishing this one by my self.. 17.08.2013

I believe Martinus shared this one @ Borefts ’13, but I’m not sure about who owned this. Hazy orange to red colour with no head. Smells sour, fruity, fresh and nice. Tastes sour, fruity, fresh... Now this is a lovely sour. Medium body, nice carbo. Quite enjoyable!

Bottle sampled @ decadent symmetry tasting. Thanks for this one! Wild color dark pink with orange, some salmon. Light carbonation. Fruity, acidic nose: cherry, cranberry. Flavor is spicy berries, lemon, leather, dust. Clean and crisp. Interesting berry bland. Medium sourness. Champagne-like.

Bottled at Akkurat, Stockholm. Hazy copper colour. Citric black cherry aroma. Very tart with stable and hay. Funky, yet laids back. Vinegar dominates a sour finish. Genuine and complex. Rich and intense.

37CL Bottle split with friends. Gorgeous hues in the glass. Looks like a juice i will enjoy very much. Smells is mostly blackberry and raspberries with some cherry as well. Mild tartness and overall, pretty earthy. Finish is nice and tart, very dry finish. this was nice but not as good as I expected.

Bottle. Hazy red liquid with small white head. Aroma of barnyard, lemons, cherries, red berries, almonds and earth. Taste is dry and medium to high carbonation with notes of lemons, barnyard, red berries, cranberries and cherries. Light to medium bodied with low carbonation. Really quite nice but a bit weird after taste.
