Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: dark brown close to purple-ish with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated somewhat quick and barely left any lace
Aroma: pomegranate, black cherries, red raspberries, then light lemon juice and a subtle vinous character, slight lacto vibes
Flavor: sour to sweet to tart and vinously blends the prior noted aromas; finishes tart and sour through the pomegranate, black cherries and red raspberries
Texture: medium bodied, good sipper, enough sour & tart character seem to be assertive to the tongue
Overall: nicely done sour ale which could be construed as a fruited sour ale (depending on who you talk to) and would be one I would return to.

Many thanks to Erzengel for sharing! A slightly hazy deep golden beer with a small most good lasting off-white head. Aroma of vinegar, intense tart raspberries, riped red fruits. Taste of tart raspberries, strawberries, brett, lactic sour, dry wooden finish.

375ml bottle. Nice sour fruity nose. The beer starts nice sour with lots of fruit. Cherries and pomegranate are there, the vinegar-like woody sourness is in the aftertaste intense, refreshing but still heavy. Long sour intense vinegar-like aftertaste. For me the vinegar-part is too heavy and covers the fruit in the aftertaste too much.

Pours a haze ruddy rose red from a bottle, thick head quickly dissipates. Aroma is of a tart cherry yogurt, flavor is similar. Boy howdy is this tart!

Bottle. Golden fuzzy pour. Strong aroma of tart, sour old grain, mild oak and red fruit. Rich flavor of red fruit, sour cherry, mild oaky vanilla and strong tart. Very balanced and tasty.

Fruchtiger, sehr saurer Antrunk. Dabei im Mittelteil fast schon stechend, Pfirsich, etwas Kirsche. Saurer fruchtiger und holziger Nachgeschmack, süffig. Leicht herb, spritzig. Kurzer Nachhall. 8/12/11/11/12/11

Bottle thanks to Brian! Pours cloudy amber, small beige head, some lacing. Aroma is nail polish remover acetic, oak, funk. Flavor is medium tart, oaky wood, a bit of cheese. Nail polish remover fades in time and is only an aroma note. Have patience. Medium body. 6,4,8,4,15
Rerate on tap at Manhattan Pizza. This has gotten notably better and lacks the annoying acetone feel. Excellent sour. 7,4,8,4,16
