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. Cloudy pale orange with a very small and quickly dissolving white head. Aroma of lemons, grapefruits, stone fruits and general tartness. Taste of lemons and lime, grapefruits, some zest and some grains. Citric, sour and tart. Low bitterness. Medium to strong carbonation. Very refreshing. I’m not sure I’m really sold on the very basic concept of Sour IPAs but I thought this was alright.

Bottle. Slightly cloudy dark orange with a small white head. Aroma of apples and vinegar and thus basically a cider. Taste of apples, vinegar, lemons, grains, minerals and wood. Tart and sour. Low bitterness. Strong carbonation. Not sure what to make of this but calling this a Lager is at least confusing and misleading to put it mildly. Reading the older reviews it really seems they either changed something quite drastically or they messed up this particular batch and decided to sell it anyway.

Draught at TLVCBF, Hazy yellow colour, lemon and a bit of vinegar, hint of wood, piercing fruity sourness. Really nice but one dimensional.
