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.

(Bottle) Pale golden colour with foamy, white head. Fruity nose with notes of melon, citrus, unripe peaches, honey, barnyard and horse stable. Fruity, tart taste with melon, lemon, hay, honey, barnyard, a touch of almonds hidden away in the sour, and a dry finish with a solid acidity. Light body, dry. Fresh and tasty, with a sharp acidity. Very nice.

--Sample, thanks oh6gdx! -- Dark brown, small head. Aroma of instant chocolate powder poured into vinegar. Tart with medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Instant chocolate, oaky vinegar, lingonberry concentrate and some odd peanut butter. The base beer seems to be fairly nice, and I can just imagine how fun the guys at the brewery had when they were dead drunk and dropped all this shit into the beer.

Bottle, thx Dina! Hazy golden-orange body, not much head, if any. Sour, bretty aroma, bit acetic, vegetal, no pomegranate, no hibiscus I guess. Lean, dry, minerally sour, oak undertones, some vague neutral fruity and flowery touches, but might as well be unflavored, trace acetic touches. Okay.

0.33 l bottle thanks to little Dina, shared with Marko and her. Hazy pale orange, pinkish hue, minimal head. Aroma is intensely fruity, apricot, pomegranate, funky. A touch of lacquer and glue. Vague notes of hibiscus if you look for them. Flavour is sour orange with hibiscus, also stone fruit. Intense sourness, bitter phenols, thin body.

Bottle. Dark brown body under a disappearing beige head. Aroma has dark malt, red berries, moderate acidity and mild vinegar. Taste is smooth, sweet malt, acidic red berries, wood and some tannin bitterness. Fine body and nice aftertaste. Very pleasant and balanced.
