BB 02/10/2024, Batch 037B, 330ml bottle

APPEARANCE: crystal gold color, small white head with big bubbles on the side of the glass, islands of tiny bubbles in the middle, raising carbonation; with the sediment dark peach juice color with red-ish hues from berries and red wine barrel

AROMA: fresh raspberries and strawberries in the foreground, no obvious blueberries on the nose, moderate fruit sweetness, berry jam/marmalade, hints of red wine on the edges, smooth funk from wild yeasts that doesn't overpower, hints of bread dough, musty cellar, berry seeds, soft lactic presence, fresh lemon juice, subtle sulphur

TASTE: well dosed carbonation (not effervescent or sharp), creamy and fluffy bubble formation, medium light body, very crisp, refreshing and mineral mouthfeel, light dryness, not puckering at all; light sweet onset from malts and ripe berries, more noticeable strawberries in the flavor than raspberries, again no blueberries for me; very pleasant tartness that is not offensive at all, mouthwatering effect, nice red wine character on the edges - juicy red grapes and hints of wet and dry barrel/wood; less funky on the palate as suggested in the nose; soft fresh lemon juice bite with pinch of salt

OVERALL: very well crafted, all aspects are covered but I do miss blueberries; easy drinkable and not offensive at all therefore very suitable for none experienced sour/wild ale drinkers at least in my opinion;

Bottle, small bubbly head, hazy pale red color, aroma of raspberries and fruit with a hint of vinegar, flavor of raspberries and fruit with a mellow sourness and just a hint of bitterness. The prototypical session sour for the Israeli summer.

(Draught at BrewDog Camden, London, 21 Nov 2019) Hazy amber colour with foamy, off-white head. Fruity, sourish nose with notes of sour berries, lingonberries and seabuckthorn. Fruity, tart taste with tart fruit, seabuckthorn, cloudberries, lingonberries, hints of funky yeast and a dry and tart finish with low bitterness. Medium body, dry. Fresh and tart, with lots of tart berries. Very nice.

On tap at BrewDog Soho. Hazy orange red colour no head. kettle sour aroma. good fruits in mouth. raspberry blueberry. so if you block out the aroma it's a fruity sour sherbet yoghurt. good. if you want sour fruity yoghurt.

Beerig saurer Geruch und Antrunk, hier allerdings mit eher wässrigem Hintergrund. Trocken, Erdbeeren, Blaubeeren, die Säure schwächt sich ab und passt dadurch besser ins Gesamtbild. Gut. 9/11/10/11/9/11

Bottle sample at a tasting at Oren's place. Murky pink-orange. Berries, some funk, a bit of vinegar, wood, sour, juicy, bitterish note. Really good.
