Bottle. Pours deep, clear golden with huge, everlasting white head. Nose is pleasant citrusy hoppy with a grassy hint. In taste it follows, and then turn to a moderate, “lagery” malty character. Light bodied, easy to drink. The carbonation is a bit flat and could be tuned up a bit, but this one is quite a pleasant IPL nevertheless.

Can at home. Pours murky pink with white head and some sediment, ugh. Nose is some raspberries, sweet notes, no trace of coconut. Taste is raspberries, somewhat stronger than in aroma, perhaps a super faint coconut touch, and I think there’s lactose in there too. Barely sour, almost sweet. Closes with fruity finish, has light body and soft carbo. Are all pastry sours just sweet and barely tart fruit beers?:(

On tap @ BPBW, Saturday session. I only took numerical notes while having this one.

On tap @ BPBW, Saturday session. Probably my favourite sour ale from the festival, incredibly fruity and only moderately tart/sour. Very well made!

Bottle shared at home. Pours copper with no head. It shows chocolate, grains, fruits, moderate booze and mellow marzipan in aroma and taste. Medium bodied with soft carbo, easy to drink.

From tap at Borefts 2016. Aroma is sour blueberries and tart red fruits. Flavour is moderate to medium sour with a touch of sweetness. Body is light to medium. Pretty good fruity Sour, nice berries, would have benefitted from a lactose substance though.

From tap at Borefts 2016. Aroma is dark malt, bretty funk, lots of oak and barrel notes, Brandy, tart red fruits, hint of chocolate. Flavour is light to moderate sour and slightly sweet. Body is medium to full. Quite heavy on the barrel notes.

From tap at Borefts 2016. Aroma is sour and tart berries, black currant, notes of raspberries, mild lactic, fruit yoghurt. Flavour is mildly sour with a hint of sweetness. Body is light. Nice fruity aroma, easy drink, enjoyable light weight fruit Sour.

From tap at Borefts 2017. Aroma has lots of hibiscus and tart red fruits, with some rather unpleasant notes of rubber and burning plastic. Flavour is nicely sour. Body is medium. Weird thing about those off-flavours... A number of people picked up rubber in the aroma on day 1 of Borefts, but looking at the other ratings I guess this problem was 'corrected' later on? As it stands, I cannot rate it any higher than this.
