This beer is from the evil brewer who likes to walk on the dark side and embrace wild yeast and bacteria. Ketser is a deep red ale fermented with Brettanomyces, Lactobacillus, and Pediococcus. The result is a sour and tartly acidic beer with fruit flavors of dark cherry, plum and currant. It offers a refreshing mouthfeel with a deeply complex character. Welcome to the dark side.

Taster at KEG. Copperish ruby pour with an off-white head. Nose is fruity, full of esters, with a hint of funk and acids. Taste is surprisingly smooth estery fruityness, with vague acidic character and earthy/barnyard brett notes with barely and funk. Light to medium bodied, surprisingly-not-dry bodied. Interesting, not bad by far, but surely not the greatest example of the style.

Bottled. Reddish brown colour with a huge off-white creamy head. Gusher warning. Out of 4 bottles of this beer on a big tasting, 3 made fountains even when fridge cold. Aroma is tart wood, some red berries and mild yeast. Flavour is rather similar, with a rather mouth drying palate. The thing is, it feels like a proper sour, but also had some infected sourness to it...

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

Tap at Fakin. Shiny copper body, white head. Creamy berry aroma, more sweetish than tart, lightly acetic. Smooth taste bursting with cherries, very much smooth, some acetic notes. I actually liked this a LOT. An excellent tamer take on the style.

On tap at Fakin Zagreb. Ruby red coloured, small white to off-white head that went away fast, sourish red wine nose. Fruity, light caramel, notes of red wine and some plums with woody touch in the finish. Bit unbalanced but ok.
