Bottle, shared at a tasting. I likely sat on this one too long :(. Pours hazy hazel, small beige head, dissipates fairly quickly, some lacing. Aroma is funk oak, cherries, some nail polish remover, vinous. Flavor is medium tart, medium funk. Medium body, high carbonation.

Poured from a 750 ml bottle. Aroma is fairly fruity with moderately strong cherry notes as well as some raisin, plum and cassis. Medium light caramel notes with hints of toffee and toasted bread. Light oak and red wine notes. Pours a slightly cloudy, amber red with some burnt auburn colors and a large, frothy, slightly tan head that steadily recedes and collapses into itself leaving a small film on the edges. No lacing and faint legs. Flavor is fairly acidic and slightly acetic with a light sweetness. Flavor is moderately fruity with cherry notes followed by lighter raisin, cassis and plum. Hints of berries as well. Medium light caramel malt with lighter toasted bread notes and hints of toffee and nuts. Light oak notes and a hint of alcohol. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium high carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice sour red, but the style isn't really my jam. I prefer the slightly sweeter, less acetic Belgian versions.

Bottle at the radikal whale slaying. Thnx to Fonefan. Pours dark, unclear amber, small white head. Smell is intense, sour, glue-like intensity which is tyipical for the style-exreme examples. Taste is full, intense, strong sourness, rather dry, bit fruity, some oak. mild glue character, way less than the scent. nice.

Bottle shared at a tasting. Leather bomb US sour. Delicate mouthfeel, but hyper white wine vinous too. Really deep lemon-lime sour tones. Really grew on me. Excellent.

Thank you Mathieu87 & PriorL + Yarric! 750 ml. bottle sampled @ “Epic beer Tasting 2016”. # 2216. Dark brown reddish with brief tanned bubbles. Nose is oak, sweetish cherry, low glue, lactic sour profile, there are similarities in the sour profile when compared to the 5 Veritas beers which we sample. Taste is big on sweet cherries, they have a moldy overripe profile, cherry compote, bit too fermenting, beer is rather fizzy with glue sourness, low vinegar, moldy fruit, low charred oak. Least favorite out of the 5. Fruit is a bit too fermenting, bit too fizzy, messy. Okay but not a clear win for me.

Head gone in seconds; copper-amber beer. Wood, oak, red fruit, horseblanket, Bretts and others. Faint wood, quite lactic acid intoned; very faraway chocolate, as pralines with cherry & lemonfilling. Quite slick, good carbonation. Excellent, even when I prefer the 013.
