330 ml bottle, bottled Dec. 2015. Shared by PowY, thanks!
Dark red body, with a small, fluffy, beige head.
Lovely aroma with loads of intense, fresh raspberries, ripe fruits, some vanilla, slight vinegar.
Tastes quite similar, also with lots of raspberries, while with more vinegar.
Quite light, slick mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes medium acidic, medium dry, a bit vinous, with moderate vinegar, lots of raspberries, lingering berry skin.

Very tasty. Lovely, intense nose, still with lots of raspberries. Taste is more acidic, not as round as the nose. Lovely stuff, as always, while still not among my favourite ones from Crooked Stave.

Score: 9 / 4 / 8 / 4 / 16

At the crooked stave tasting. Pours very dark, nearly brown trough a red shine. Small white head, nearly none. Smell is full, astigent, mild sweetness from the fruit. Very intense. Very nice ! Taste is sharp, intensely sour. Nice raspberry flavor. Very intense. Perhaps somewhat too sour, but a very nice beer indeed

Tap at Muted Horn. Opaque reddish with pink head. Super juicy raspberry, very tart. Some citrus too and some hay. Mostly like a tart raspberry smoothie. Fabulous.

(Tap sample @ CBC 2016 Green Session, Copenhagen) Pours deep dark pink to red coloured, with a medium pink head. Aroma leads with a big punch of raspberries as expected, fresh raspberry but also raspberry pie and candy, a bit woody, really fruit forward. Flavour is tart raspberry, berry seeds, light strawberry, wood, lactic lemon, rather sour overall, crisply acidic, no real sweetness from the darker malt so it has a shorter finish than might be expected of style. Light to medium bodied, maybe a little watery, soft carbonation. Doesn't feel like a sour red with the fruit addition, just a pure fruit sour, but a tasty one.

On tap @ Copenhagen Beer Celebration 2016. This is a a warm cloudy almost purple red one with a small sidesticking pinkish head. Smells of raspberries, cherries, some wood. Really good and light acidic. Well sour in the taste also! It's oily in the mouth and above average on the carbonation. A lovely tasting raspberry bomb this. Delish! 14.05.2016

375ml bottle. Burgundy colour with average, frothy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, pinkish head. Fruity aroma is slighty raspberry dominated, additional notes of dark and red berries in general, hints of blue grapes. Taste is extremely sour, fruity, notes of red and dark berries, blue grapes, slight raspberry predominance. Too sour, pyrosis evocative.

Bottle shared with the KL tastinfg group. Poured a hazy reddish brown with a bubbly off white head. The aroma is rich sweet jammy raspberry fruit. The flavour is moderate sour with a crisp fresh tart raspberry fruit, light dough biscuit yeast palate. Medium bodied with lively carbonation.
