Can from 8 Degrees Plato. Pours a clearish red orange with a quickly dissipating off-white head. Sour wheat aromas with lime zest, lime juice and tart cherry skin on the nose. Quite tart on the palate (per style) and very dry. Medium carbonation. Lots of lime flesh and juice with cherry skin and a faint cherry stone note toward the end. Lingering tartness on the palate on the dry finish.

Bottled @ Sori Taproom, Helsinki. Poured almost red in color, with a white head. Nice funky aroma with cherries and black currants. Acidic with tartness, oak and berries. Dry, funky finish. Solid.

750ml bottle from Mikkeller Beer Club. Tart, sour and funky with some peaches, vanilla, oak, vinegar, spices, candy and juicy fruits, some wood and farmyardy earthiness. Quite complex and tasty fruity peach sour. Nice one.

Can from Holiday Market. Pours a clearish orange gold with a finger of white foam that dissipates. Gooseberry and oak on the nose with some muted citrus aromas. Gooseberry tartness on the palate with some green pineapple and passion fruit as it warms. Dry finish with some barnyard and horseblanket notes as well. Very nice and funky sour IPA.
