Oxford tasting
Hazy amber color. Aroma of fruit, hazelnut, red wine, acetone, malt. Sour, fruity, light residual sweetness, berries, wine.
Pleasant, not very complex.

11.16 oz. bottle, pours a cloudy dark amber with a tiny head. Nose reveals a mixed jumble of wild yeasts, with low funk and more just wild critters, with no real blueberry character. Flavour is kind of oxidized, with lots of wild yeast, faded blueberries, and dry oak. Loads of wild yeast, with little complexity. Not too impressive.

Hazy. No head. Light purplish-browny sort of colour...like amber colour with blueberry influence. On the nose, a light sort of tartness and fruit...it's a fairly mild aroma. Soft and sweet, with light blueberry notes. Just a touch of tartness. Nice balance...I especially like the berry character. It's mild but it's pretty good.

Hazy tea color, large bubbles, low carb, no head. Aroma hints at fruit but has mostly barrel funk and sourdough. Acetic tartness, very much in the vein of a flemish red ale, but softer, sweeter, cut by the fruit, which seem vaguely out of place here. They're not bad, but I'd like to see what this beer has to offer as a straight sour instead of fruited. A little more carbonation might help it a little but as it is, it almost has an aged unblended lambic type feel to it.

Bottle says it nicely. perfect balance of blueberry, oak, and funk. Funk at the back and not at all overpowering.

Pours hazy brownish purple color with thin off white head. Aromas of blueberries and funk, with some oak. Sour blueberry flavor with brett and oak. Medium body with average carbonation.
