750 ml bottle #59/120, shared by Cuso. Thanks!
Dark orange, hazy body, with a small, white head.
Aroma is sour, tart, with funk, sour cherry, red wine.
Taste follows this, also some sweet cherry and other sour fruits, like apples, some wood.
Medium oily mouthfeel, with a lively carbonation.
Finishes sour, tart, funky, dry.

Really tasty! Big, complex and sour/tart, while still with a quite smooth balance. Not the best beer of this style I’ve had, but a great one and a glad opportunity to try this!

Bottle by Cuso. Aroma bretty, funky, light fruity, very light cherry. Hazy reddish colour, pretty nice. Taste is surprisingly soft up front. Sour, brett, fruity, only traces of cherry. Good one and rather easily drinkable. I like it.
