Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up years ago. Pours clear, reddish amber with a foamy, tan light khaki head that settles into a cream. Wonderful beer, nicely tart, with mellow acetic bite, tangy berries, nips of old wood, soft funk. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Quenching finish with light warmth, more tart berries, a little seedy bitterness, salty bite, accents of vinegar. Impressive beer.

33 cl bottle poured into a Snifter. Hazy amber colour with a reddish tinge. Thin off-white head. Tart fruity aroma with lemons, wooden notes, red wine barrel, bretts, yeasts, yougurt and red berries. Taste is sour. Medium bodied. Tart fruity finish. Nice and complex.

Draft sample Copenhagen Beer Celebration, Boston, 23 September, 17. Everything you search for in the style... sour oak, sour grain, moldy cherries, and vinegar. This is the worse style in the history of brewing beer. My only outright drain pour of CBC. Sour cherries, Ron oak marinated in vinegar. I still scratch my head on how people like this crap?

Aus der Flasche im LagerLager Berlin am 2016-09 getrunken. Das Barrel Aged Sour Power liegt wirklich voll auf Augenhöhe vom Rodenbach Vintage. Doch mit nicht so einer direkten Säure wie die Rodenbachs, doch dafür kommt das Beavertown mit kräftiger Frucht und einem cremigen Mundgefühl daher. Ein spitzen Sour Red was die 18 Monate in Burgunder Fässer reife und das mit Roggen, rote Johannisbeeren und Sauerkirschen gebraut wurde! Ich bin echt schwer begeistert. Aus der Flasche 2017-03 getrunken. Dieses mit u.a. Roggen, rote Johannisbeeren,Sauerkirschen, Saison Hefen und Brettanomyces Lambicus Hefe gebraute Bier ist einfach sau geil. Wer ein Fan vom Rodenbach Vintage oder Caractère Rouge ist, der ist hier richtig. Die 3 Brauer haben hier eine wunderbare, saure Fruchtbombe kreiert. Geiles Zeug!

Many thanks to Beerhunter111 for sharing! Sourish red wood beginning. Refreshing mild, not too much acid. Red winey hints, wood, sourish grain. Nice an refreshing but not too deep. Extreme mild!
