Thanks to Kraddel. 750 ml. bottle. Full glass was enough for me. Batch 2. Bottled on 11/12/2012. Bottle nr. 530. Hazy, lightly murky apricot with zero head. Nose is big, lactic, yoghurt, touch spoiled yoghurt, mineral, gastric acid, light vomit. Taste is mineral, lactic, spoiled yoghurt, rotting apricot (fruit is barely there at first, you get some light notes at the bottom of the bottle), mineral, lactic, sparkling, gastric acid taste, very sour lemon finish. Tad sparkling & mineral body. I have had “AC Golden Hidden Barrel Blackberry” & it was delicious but I have no idea what this is or what they were going for. This isn’t how a sour beer is supposed to be. I would think that MillerCoors has enough money, brewers, equipment etc. to come up with something better than this. I do think that a lot of USA concumers will drink anything as long as it is sour. This is a million miles away from Fou’ Foune.

Pours unclear yellow, no real head. Smell is sharp sourness ( bleach, even) and of course fruits. Taste is sweet, fruity ( slightly soapy) some dry wood aspect. An arteficialcharacter to it. Bit harsh. Ok, but nothing more than that

Sample at the 2014 Infected Chimipalooza on 11/01/2014. Pours a slightly cloudy golden color with a thin white head that dissipates to a wispy film. Spotty lacing. Aroma of apricots, brett and oak. Light-bodied with flavors of funky apricots, brett yeast and oak. The finish is moderately tart with an apricot aftertaste. Pretty good beer overall, and proof that the big breweries can make a decent beer if they want.

Murky yellow. Nose is nice. Very clean peach with hints of wood. Hard to explain but it is good. Find a bottle if you can. The peach is we’ll integrated with the base beer.

Bottle shared at tasting. Thick yeasty pink body. Nail polish acetone sourness. Unrefined, I’m not impressed at all. Still quite tasty in some respects, the cherries sort of shine in a pink raspberry sort of way. Acid brutality.

750mL bottle, pours jet black with a small tan / brown head. Aroma is complex, with bourbon, vanilla and cocoa. Flavour is elegant, with boozy bourbon notes, vanilla, and alcoholic finish. Very well-balanced. Surprising quality from the big guys.

Bottle @ What the Funk, October 2014, Denver. Pours a darkish red orange appearance with a light brown head. Chewy caramel, some wood / tannins, apricots / peaches, and light sweetness. Somewhat sour. Interesting but not as good as some of their other releases.
