Cherries, cinnamon, oak, green apples, tart with underlying sweetness. Tons of vinegar, apple pie, oak, cherries, semisweet, oranges rounded. Really well put together. Wow. Amazing for 11%. Ever so slightly warming finish. Womdefulf

Bottle pour @ Beer Boy, Nakameguro. Bit muddy-looking brown amber pour, pretty flat as well. Nose has some sweet caramel, alc shining through a bit, light vinegar. Tastes tart and sour, fruity and some vinegar coming out later. Reminds me flemish reds - and I do like flemish reds. Good body, complex flavours, whats more to wish for?

Smell of raw berries, some flowers. Muddy red-brown colour, short beige head. Aroma of raw berries, sour fruit, vinegar. Brutally sour, not even ABV thwarting it. Some spices behind all the sourness. Lively carbon. Oily texture. Interesting, but harsh.

375 ml bottle, shared by PowY, thanks!
Dark red-brownish body, with a small, frothy, light beige head.
Aroma of overripe fruits, leather, wood, red wine, glueish, some balsamic vinegar.
Tastes similar, with more vinegar, some vanilla.
Medium, a bit oily mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation.
Finishes a bit alcoholic, medium acidic, wooden, leathery, vinous, with overripe fruits, balsamic vinegar.
Very nice. Pretty heavy to drink, while really interesting, intense, with lots of fruits. Overall not my preferred style of a sour beer, too heavy and intense, but still something special.
Score: 7 / 4 / 7 / 4 / 15

0,375l bottle at home shared by Powy, big thanks. brown color, small off-white head. smells vinegar, marzipan, nutty, bit boozy, glueish, decent to nice smell, bit on the boozy / glueish side. full body, light carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes of berry notes, ripe fruits, light grapes, marzipan, nutty, only hints of vinegar, peppery, spices. finishes lightly sweet and lightly sour with notes of marzipan, nutty and fruity notes. nice one, maybe a bit too young? bit too glueish overall, smell is not super complex. quite drinkable overall, but also a bit heavy.

Amber beer with a light, tangy fruit aroma . Taste is fruity, sour, yeasty. Crisp and tasty, tangy and sour without being sickly. Spot on.
