Elderblossom-flavoured sour ale from Norway, tasted from tap at Wildeman in Amsterdam. Coarse, large-bubbled, pale beige, opening head, misty amberish bronze robe. Aroma of gooseberry jam, unripe nectarine, old sweat, rhubarb juice, red wine vinegar, sour yoghurt, medlar, soggy old bread. Sour and tart onset, crabapple, redcurrant, unripe nectarine, medium carb, bit resinous mouthfeel; caramelly, cereally, bit bread crust-like malt base, dried by lactic sourness, yoghurty and fruity to even vinegary in the end; late toasty bittering touch. Typical modern, international interpretation of 'oud bruin', in the sense that, like many others in this specific range, it lacks a bit in malt sweetness to balance out the sourness, while that same sourness descends too much in a vinegary character. Decent enough, but falling a bit short to compete with the great classics in the style.

Sour ale from this young Norwegian craft brewery, tap at Wildeman in Amsterdam, thanks to Hans Dusselier for sharing. Lacing, snow white, medium thick head over a hazy yellowish peach blonde beer. Aroma of stewing rhubarb, buttermilk, gooseberry, unsugared yoghurt, withering lettuce, spoiled milk, cucumber, lime juice. Sour onset, sorrel, gooseberries and cucumber, with only a light sweetishness hidden within (pear), spritzy carb, lactic and yoghurty tartness throughout with a sharper lemony edge, buttery effect as well (diacetyl?), bready base, lime-like aspects in the finish with lingering rhubarb-tinged sourness, dryish. Bit 'simple' modern sour, your typical American style golden sour, pleasant enough but lacking a bit in depth to be a truly great sour ale.

Hazed red color with a fine pink head. Ok lacing. Fine intensity in the aroma. Mellow carbonation level. Pleasant to drink. Fine tail in the flavor. Raspberry fruity, yeast and mild citric feeling in the flavor. Dry ending. Pleasant balanced sourness and acidity.
