Description
Last beer was released in July 2021 and common consensus is that this is the year the brewery should be set as closed.

Do note that due to the nature of the beers produced both BrewDog and other online retailers continued to sell the beers for many years after the closure.

Dedicated to exploring and pushing the boundaries of what is possible with fermentation, we are on a quest to redefine Wild and Sour beers, forever. With a purpose-built facility where craft and nature find harmony, we utilise wild yeasts and microbes from our environment and ingredients sourced from all around the world.

500ml bottle from Brewdog. Golden colour with pinkish tinge, bubbly white foam head and aroma of berries, citric rind, wood barrel, brett. Taste is sour, tart, berries, jammy, with lemon rind, some saltiness and light bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying sour finish. Nicely drinkable.

Bottle (from Alko web). Hazy carrot orange colour, small white head. Aroma is some herbal, mild tropical fruits, lactic acid, a bit tart wood and some slight earthy elements. Flavour is tropical fruits, lactic acid, some tropical fruits, herbs and mild mango and a bit citrusy tones. Acidity gives a slight burning feeling in the finish and aftertaste.

Bottle (Bottle 372/1593, from Alko Web). Hazy golden colour, small white head. Aroma is floral, tart, some acidic fruits and mild nectary tones. Flavour is acidic, really brutally tart fruits and wooden tones. Still very pleasant after the first shock is over.

330ml bottle BB 2nd February 2024, so just out of date when poured into my beautiful old dab meister pils glass tankard at home on 23rd February. Bit of a gusher, snow white foam leaving the neck of the bottle straight away. Once settled I got a slightly hazed golden body with the aforementioned white head. Actually this is very pleasant and tasty.

Review #750, so let's hope for a special one. Dark brown (tint of red) pour with a small tan head. Aromas of dried red berries and other fruits before the whisky kicks in; hints of cocoa and malt. Taste is redcurrants, sour cherries, whisky, wood, pleasat sour finish. Enjoyed it.

Bottle from Tesco Supermarket, Salford. Clear amber-red with next to no head. There's plenty of raspberry in both aroma and taste, but it has a fair sourness level too, which lingers long in its aftertaste.

Small, if stable, just off-white head over still, clear reddish golden beer. Immediate delicate, but unmistakably fruity nose, with straw- and raspberry, and a whiff of... whisky? Quite sour, sour grapes, sour sherry. There remains a subsurface fruitsweetness. Again strawberry, raspberry and other red (berry)fruit. Finish has a distinct flavour of old winebarrels, maybe like very aged Rosé d'Anjou. Bit aggressive acidity, if nowhere as bad as USA kettle sours, and moreover mellowing in time. Light body, low carbonation, faint fruitslickness, long-lasting fruitflavours. Really nice, if not spectacular.
