On tap at Meddlesome Moth, pours a fairly cloudy dark purple with a small dark pink head. Aroma brings out jammy elderberry, moderate funk, and some vinous oak. Flavour is moderately tart, with acidic elderberries, subdued funk, and some gentle vinegar. The funk is nice but the acidic and acetic character in particular are a bit suboptimal. Good but the bottled Sureau is superior.

Row 34 draught, 11/17/22. Clear deep purple, small ring of purple head. This is the most fruit-forward so far, with juicy, rich elderberry, quite impressed by the relative lack of heavy acid/astringency. Lambic-wise, maybe a little wanting, but it's clean and fruity with mild Brett. Soft, sweet fruit with creeping acidity. Low carbonation concentrating sweetness. Light Brett, moderate, tasteful elderberry. Even if it's not mega-funky and such, these meerts blends are just so phenomenally light, easygoing and drinkable.

(On tap @ Griendel, Quebec City, Sep 29/22) Pours pale purple with a whitish head. Aroma of purple grape and blackberry (which is elderberry I guess!), sweetish malty roundness, quite some wood, smooth funk. Flavour is moderate plus tart, notes of wild red grape, some darker rubus, wild brambles, old hop funk, drying barnboard, moderate tannins. Medium-bodied, nice active carbonation. My favourite of the 21 - 22 series and I will be interested to try Oude Sureau at some point.

Tap at Muted Horn. Darkest red/purple, pink/lilac cream. Tart Brett nose- leather, barn, elderberry sweetness. Medium light tart body, lightly puckering. Tart berry skin, leather tobacco. Very dry finish. Opens up to more fruitiness after a little while. Your mother was a lambic and your father smelled of elderberries!

(Keg at Pikkulintu Ruttopuisto, 20220621) The beer poured deep ruby red and clear. Its head was small and pink. Aroma had berries, wood and tartness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were tartness, wood, berries, sourness and bitterness. Aftertaste had tartness, berries and bitterness. A tasty and complex tart brew with clear berry notes.
