Bottleshare XX in De Beugel. Pours a pinkish red colour and a light pink head. Aroma's are sour, fruit, almond. Retronasal it's sour and the cherry and raspberry can be recognised. Flavour is sour with a hint of sweetness, from the fruit presumably. Light bodied.

Sample (thanks fonefan!). Yellow colour, small white head. Aroma is tart and acidic as fuck, but in a good way, along with mild vanillaish tones. Flavour is acidic, tart, fruity, some vanilla and wood to it. Nicely tart and dry finish with a slight acidity too.

375ml bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, Dec 22. Picked up at Harbour Brewery. Hazed reddish amber, small white head. Vibrant wild sour profile, moderate funk with blueberries come through nicely, light vinous touches.. excellent age to it, but sense it would continue to develop well for a number of years.
