Bottle from Scurreria Beer & Bagel, Genoa. Pours a muddy amber brown with a short lasting off white head. Aroma of plum, fig, biscuit, sour dough, sour berries. Moderate sweetness, medium to heavy sourness but not overbearing. Toward medium body, quite thin texture. Finish is tart, but with lasting sweetness.

Flaska från Etre Gourmete. rödbrunorange färg, disig i princip inget skum. Syrlig och lite funkig doft med fat, sura stenfrukier, röd citrus och syrligt rött smågodis. Syrliga smak men med en del söta toner av gula plommon, gula russin, söta vita druvor som matchar syran bra. En del fat, torr stram eftersmak som får kinderna att dra ihop sig.Drar åt plommonlambic, riktigt fin balans mellan syra och sötma, komplex och mycket god.

375ml bottle. Murky reddish orange-amber colour, white foam head leaving alittle lacing and floral, berry aroma with lemon rind, funk. Taste is sour, grains, citrus rind, summer fruity, berries, marzipan cherry note, funky & tart. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry sour finish. Nicely drinkable.

Draft. Strong apple cider, light musty barnyard, berry, and caramel malt aroma. Hazy brown with small head. Sweet-tart apple juice, light caramel malt, mild sour barnyard, and mildly bitter dry hay flavor. Body okay. Nice mix of fruit and funk.

Draught at Row 34, 5/30/16.
First pour had a decent head on it, off-white, though probably not terribly well-retained, though the bartender then took it away and poured more beer in it up to the top of the glass leaving no room for the head explaining that "since it was a $14 beer I oughta get my money’s worth". Anyhow, the body was a cloudy olive-tinged mahogany with deep violet tints.
Big, rounded oak notes combine with light acetic notes and even toffee-like maltiness to give a well-rounded nose. Tending lightly acidic. Lots of grape/prune vinousness, plentiful cellar notes (musty, strong minerals) and a fair amount of malt lingering. No alcohol or flaw.
Caramel-toffee again in the flavor is surprising. It helps balance the acetic and lightly lactic acidity and adds quite a bit of body. Plums, prunes and various vinous notes all add complexity and the carbonation is fairly engaging, yet quite low with a malty and at times oily texture. Raisins, figs, toffee and acetic acid lingering with light wood and vanilla. Very unusual and unique sour ale.
