Very impressed with this one after a few SP sours that were way too sour. Lovely fruit presence on a sour but not too sour and interestingly funky sour ale base. Very jammy raspberry presence. Hint of possibly perceived residual sweetness. Top notch stuff

375 ml bottle into tulip glass; Blend #3, bottled in 9/2017. Pours hazy very dark ruby red/purple color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy dark pink head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big juicy/sour/tart/tangy black raspberries, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, lime, orange, peach, plum, pear, apricot, melon, red/green apple, currant, red grape/wine, toasted oak, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, and white bread; with lighter notes of oaken vanilla, peppercorn, leathery/musty/lacto funk, red wine vinegar, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of black raspberries, fruity/funky/acidic yeast, red wine barrels, and moderate pale/wheat malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge juicy/sour/tart/tangy black raspberries, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, lime, orange, peach, plum, pear, apricot, melon, red/green apple, currant, red grape/wine, toasted oak, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, and white bread; with lighter notes of oaken vanilla, peppercorn, leathery/musty/lacto funk, red wine vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tart/sourness, fruit/wine tang; and light yeast/oak tannin spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/sour black raspberries, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, lime, orange, peach, plum, pear, apricot, melon, red/green apple, currant, red grape/wine, toasted oak, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread, light leather/funk/vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness on the finish for a while. Amazing complexity, robustness, and balance of black raspberries, fruity/funky/acidic yeast, red wine barrels, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; with a fantastic malt/tart/sourness and fruit/wine tang balance; with no puckering flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering tart/sourness, and fruit/wine tang after the finish. Medium carbonation and medium plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/grainy, and acidic/tangy/tannic balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 6%. Overall this is an amazing fruited sour/wild ale! All around incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of black raspberries, fruity/funky/acidic yeast, red wine barrels, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; super smooth and easy to drink with the modestly acidic/tangy/tannic/drying finish; not overly lactic. Amazing balance of enormously juicy/jammy blackberries and Brett/Bacteria complexity; with great wine barrel presence/integration, and pale/wheat malts against acidity. Minimal residual sweetness with lingering acidic/tangy dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and amazingly top tier style example. Notes said #3 was 100% more fruit than the previous one, unreal amounts of fruit for sure.
