Bottle shared with Gabor and Undos, courtesy of the MS crew. This is everything I want from an oud bruin, it’s fruity, funky, slightly sweet yet fairly sour, it’s got a complex acid profile and fruity touches. It got better with each sip, resulting in a layered, complex drink. The MS guys really nailed it with this one.

Tap at MadFest III, thanks to the MS crew for this one. Hazy yellow pour, white head. Nose is funky, fruity and slightly bitter. Taste is bitter first, then a nice fruity and funky touch appears and this latter lingers pretty long into the finish. Light to medium body, average carbonation.

Tap at MadFest III, huge thanks to the MS crew for this one. Deep pink pour, white head. Funk, esters, peppery spicy notes, low to none ginger, slight sweet touch that might as well be the hibiscus. Light body, average to high carbo.

Bottle shared at the annual hop harvest in Vál. Pours opaque goldenish with white head. Nose is big funk, leather, barnyard, brett notes with a hint of apricots. In taste the fruit is also subdued to the mixed culture but this latter is also pretty interesting in itself. It brings the said leathery, funky barnyard notes, somewhat sour, but more tart, the fruits provide some sweetness too, but not much. Also pretty dry. Light bodied with average to high carbonation. Tasty.

Tap at MadKert, courtesy of the crew, thanks a lot! Beautiful, glowing deep red pour with thin head. Nose is big, tart jam-like raspberries, and also light brett, but it's mainly about the fruits. Taste is pretty tart because of the fruits, but there's that nice funky brett touch here as well, perhaps somewhat more prominently than in the aroma. Closes with intense tart fruityness, has light body and soft to average carbo. All in all a beautiful mixed fermentation fruity beer with an outstanding balance between the microbes and the raspberry. Lovely.

Bottle shared at work, courtesy of the Mad crew. Pours purpleish burgundy with a quickly dissipating head. Nose is huge on berries, it shows brett and some wood too. Taste is light to moderate sourness, some lactic and touches of acetic acid, that berry punch again, wood and funk. Vibrant and refreshing. Closes with funky and tart fruity finish has a light yet full body and soft to average carbonation. Solid sour as always from the Mad guys.

Bottle shared at home. Pours deep, slightly orangeish opaque golden with no head. Nose is lightly sour, it shows lacto and faint acetic acid and a good proportion of leathery funk, some spice too. Taste is moderately sour, somewhat funky with that interesting albeit rather vague spicy touch that might as well be the mushrooms. Closes with a somewhat sour, funky finish, has a light to medium body and soft to average carbonation. Solid stuff as always but the mushroom addition is not quite present (or at least I didnt recognise it).
