(Bottle, Akkurat, Stockholm, 17 June 2009) Cloudy copper colour with brief head. Fruity, tart nose with strawberries and dusty hints of stable. Fruity, tart taste with notes of strawberries, horse blanket, stable and cloudberries. Solid, dry acidity throughout with a decent fruit character. Dry, harsh, tart and very tasty. Excellent beer!

Deep bloody body. Pits, yoghurt and light cherry flesh in the nose. Some light phenolic character. Sweet and sour body but finishes fairly puckering. Very lively on the palate with a vibrant character and the way it turns sour at the end is awesome.

Bottle (2000 - 9 years old). Ap: Golden amber. No head. Looks funky. Ar: Sweet actually, some kind of sour bitterness (vineager maybe). Fla: Sour red berries. Incredible fruity. No real tartness in the finish, some kind of bitterness though. Ov: Quite sophisticated. Not as funky as one would think (maybe due to the ageing).

Bottled@Fonefan. Ruby red colour, not much head. Aroma is raspberry with very brutally sour notes. Floavour is extremely brutal dry, tart and sour raspberries along with dry wood. Extremely brutal bier, even though not that "complex".’kin hell, Warning: this beer will ruin your palate for the rest of the evening. Good thing this was the last beer at Fonefan for this visit.

@Pilsner Petes East Coast Gathering-750ml bottle-pours a disappearing white head and cloudy red/brown color. Aroma is funky/barn yeast, medium fruit. Taste is tart cranberry, funky/barn yeast, some hops bite. OK carbonation. Interesting. Feels like angels are kissing my face-tm rciesla. Thanks eyedrinkale for sharing.

Golden with a slight haze. Slightly footy, with pear accents. Tart and lemony, also slightly leathery and dusty. Thoroughly delicious and refreshing.

Draught cassislambik. Purple colour. Flat. Slightly balsamic with lots of fruit. Bold, curranty taste bursts with fruit. Slightly phenolic as well. A big, fruity, dry finish with a light wood accent.

Flat-looking orangey-pinkish-red. The aroma at first bursts with fruit then fades into pure hanssens cheese and lots of wood character. Flat body. Light tartness and raspberry character with hints of vinegar. It’s ok, but doesn’t really have much complexity. Promises a lot with the aroma but doesn’t really deliver on either of the times I’ve tasted it.

Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin rim of beige head. The aroma has notes of acetone, raspberries, nuts, vinegar, brettanomyces, and horse blanket. The flavor has sweet notes of raspberries in the mouth, while the acidity first hits in the throat, also with notes of vinegar, leading to a tart fruity finish. The mouthfeel is flat. Huge thanks to KimJohansen for sharing.
