Bottle. Thanks Bursprak! Pours cloudy orange/brown with a thin white line of a head. Aromas of raspberries, cherries, some marzipan, vanilla, slight oaky notes, some yeast and some leather and slight vinegar. Taste is pretty marzipan-ish up front, slight sour cherries, yoghurt some sweet fruits aswell, raspberries sweetness come through in the end.

Bottle thanks to Douglas! Pours hazy light copper, small bubbly off white head, some lacing. Aroma is dusty, fruit, cherry, stems, oak. Flavor is light tart, pleasant and not at all acetic, light clean dusty funk, oak tannins, cherry. Light plus body, low carbonation. This is a nice, clean restrained balanced sour. Fruit is an accent rather than center stage. Not overly tart, or overly anything for that matter. Kudos.

Thanks to Reynolds314 for sharing at the RBNE gathering. Very rare occasion where I like a sour, I enjoyed this one rather much. Aroma is blended strawberry, blackberry and cherry notes, sour oak, wild yeast.
Flavor is lightly acidic, with lots of berry, light oak barrel, delicate flavors. Balance of fruit and funk is nice. Mellow sourness with tons of fruit. Pretty tasty stuff, really enjoyed it which for me; is rare in the style. Liked it!

Bottle: Poured a hazy reddish color ale with a light pink color head with good retention and some minimal lacing. Aroma consists of fresh tart raspberries with some oak and light acidic notes. Taste is dominated by tart raspberries notes with some oak and light tart cherries with a light vinous finish. Body is about average with good carbonation. Loads of complexity in this beer while retaining a great level of drinkability with great refreshing notes.

2013 release. Pours a cloudy pinkish hue with a medium to small white swirling head. A big sour and woody nose with berries. The flavor was excellent: reminds me a bit of unblended lambic with fruit added, very tart, sweet berries and tart cherry, very woody, tart and dusty. Very drinkable.
