Could very well be the best sour ale I've had. A bit tart, very fruity and sweet

Tap at Brody's. Clear red with white head. Sweet and sour raspberry. Super dense raspberries. Some mold and funk. Moderate sweet and sour, almondy nutrients. Medium body and soft carbonation. Lovely fruitiness and we'll balanced sour.

On tap at Shepherds Bush BrewDog. Bright deep pink red colour lasting pink head. Raspberry jam jumps out of the glass. Not too sour. Good balance. Lovely raspberry flavour. Not overly kettle sour. Yep like it. Not overly complex but delivers a good hit of fruit.

Keg tap at BrewDog Leicester. Nagham got a half and was nice enough to share. Puce, cloudy with minimal head. Big raspberry vinegar aroma with rosé champagne and redcurrant jam. Sour taste with lots of fruit notes leading to a dry woody finish. Little to no carbonation. Very good but slightly more muted than I was hoping.

375 ml bottle into tulip glass, no bottle dating. Pours slightly hazy ruby reddish/pinkish orange color with a 1 finger fairly dense light 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 tart/sour raspberries, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, lime, green apple, red grape, white wine, hay, straw, grass, oak, wheat, cracker, and white bread; with light notes of oaken vanilla, leathery/musty funk, pepper, and yeast/oak earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruit/funky/acidic yeast, raspberries, oak, and light-moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tart/sour raspberries, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, lime, green apple, red grape, white wine, hay, straw, grass, oak, wheat, cracker, and white bread; with light notes of oaken vanilla, leathery/musty funk, pepper, and yeast/oak earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tartness, fruit tang, and light yeast/oak spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/sour raspberries, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, lime, green apple, red grape, white wine, hay, straw, grass, oak, wheat, cracker, white bread, pepper, light funk, and yeast/oak earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of fruit/funky/acidic yeast, raspberries, oak, and light-moderate pale malt flavors; with an awesome malt/tartness balance, and zero puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Moderate increasing dryness from tartness, tangy fruit, and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light body; with a very smooth, moderately grainy/acidic/tangy, and lightly tannic balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.5%. Overall this is an outstanding fruit sour ale! All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance fruit/funky/acidic yeast, raspberries, oak, and light-moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the modestly lactic/tangy/drying finish. Not as jammy as I would have liked; but this has awesome well rounded Brett/Lacto complexity; great authentic raspberry fruit and oak presence; with a solid malt backbone to control the acidity. A highly enjoyable offering.
