Best before 04/24, opening this bottle yesterday, at Epalinges, pizza and this sour beer were a good union, this one is really dry, mineral, sour, dry malt, subtle and generous touch of raspberry, classic bitterness, yeasty, refreshing.

02.11.2024, 0,5l bottle @ home:
Nice fizzy shortlasting head, slightly cloudy light orangy color. Aroma is slightly dry sour-ish fruity, berry skin, dusty sour raspberries, grass, bark, minerals, yeast, leafs, flowers. Taste is slightly dry sour-ish fruity, mild vinegar, sour dusty raspberries, grass, minerals, yeast, berry skin, fruit salt, bark, soda powder, soap. Medium bitterness, slightly harsh sour-ish fruity mouthfeel. Weird.

Bottled. Orangeish amber colour with a mediumsized foamy white head, that vanishes quite fast. Aroma is tart, some raspberries, wild strawberries. Poured intense amber in color, fizzy head. Flavour is raspberries, tartness and some slight funk with mild wooden tones.

Sour ale with raspberries from BrewDog's sour project in Ellon, thanks Erwin Plancke for sharing! Snow white, rather thin, open head, hazy peach blonde robe with rosy to orangey tinge from the fruit. Aroma of raspberries upfront, that typical sour tomato association they usually have, redcurrant, kefir, peaches soaked in raspberry vinegar, sour milk and a hint of sweaty feet. Very acidic onset, with sharp 'basic' lactic sourness strongly amplified by the natural acids from the fruit, but in any case with a clear (yellow) raspberry flavour - though I would not have minded a bit more of this fruit's sweetness too for sheer compensation, even if juicy traces of fructose are certainly there. Sour apple and gooseberry notes, strong drying lactic sourness with that fruit acidity continuing over a slender white-bready core; sweaty accents show up here and there (as in rancid butter or sweaty feet, but fortunately not that outspoken). Some bready accents in the finish, along with lingering green apple effects becoming almost as strong as the sour berries effectively used here. The sourness has a persistent drying effect, but the fact that part of it comes from the fruit, makes up for a lot. Tasty, in all, but rather straightforward and lacking depth and complexity, like other OverWorks sours I had. One for the sourheads 'pur sang'.
