Dry hopped blackcurrant sour ale.
A tasty blend of hops and ripe blackcurrants deliver juicy and tart flavours, while live cultures create a natural sour pop then before there's too much confusion we drop hop with a heavy dose of American hops to finish.
It's a sweet, tart, sour beer relief.

Draft. A hazy dark red beer with a pinkish head. The aroma has notes of blackcurrants, funk, and wheat. The flavor is sour with notes of black currant, lemons, funk, and wheat, leading to a tart finish.

Draft @ Billie's 2021, shared with Brewver BE crew.
Couleur acajou oscillant sur un léger rosé, col épais crémeux rosé.
Arôme sur un bouquet fleuri-fruité entre cassis, arbuste avec un nez âpre de baies qui arrivent en rétro-nasal.
Palais présente une fine touche 'sourness' mûre et cassis - fruité bien là avec un léger fini râpeux avec une petite note de citronné et pointe d'acidité de baies.

Draught Very small, ultra fine & dense pink head, stable over fully cloudy dark red beer. Valerian, cassis leaf, cake, toasted grains, and a truckload of berries. Sour berries, with a superb fine acidity that is both delicate and bold. Cassis, currant, with lipsmacking acidity, acidthinning, and a finish that is a bit leaner. A taste to die for, but the body lacks a bit of bones.

12/XI/21 - sample @ Billies Craft Beer Festival Day 1 (Waagnatie, Antwerp), BB: n/a (2021-1297) Thanks to the Brewver crew and other beer buddies for sharing today’s beers!
Clear deep ruby red beer, small creamy pink head, unstable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Arom: funky, quite some diacetyl, floral, lavender, weird… MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: sour start, soapy, tannins, red berries, nice acidity, little bitter. Aftertaste: dry, spicy, soapy touch, red currants, meh…
