Bottle shared by sliffy. Deep ruby pour with a white film. Aroma of funk, wood, sour vinous fruits, and barnyard. Flavors were sour/tart berries, oak, pale malt, and funk. Light body, sour/tart/woody with a woody/sour finish. Nice stuff!

Hazy red coloured beer, very little carbonation and an average white head. Fruity, raspberry aroma with some light sour touches. Full palate. Finish is sour fruity, again that typical raspberry touch with some fruitstone hints. Very nice.

It’s incredible what 10 months has done to this beer. Extreme initial tartness has mellowed to reveal an amazing drink, an outstanding aperitif of sumptious fruit. 75 cL bottle pours a deep maroon-red, pinkish-white head fades fast. Huge nose of raspberry--real, fresh raspberry--with notes of lemon and bits of old goat cheese (wish I had some to pair). Incredibly juicy flavor, Intense but reasonable fruity tartness, with a wave of dryness bubbling out of the champagne-like mouthfeel. That real fruit reigns throughout.

Bottle Muddy, pink/red body (lots of pieces of raspberry). Head disappears fastly. Aroma is full of raspberry with some wood. Lightly bitter, heavily sour initial flavour. Moderately sour finish. Quite nice with an ok complexity.

Thanks to Jason for this one. Cloudy red color. Aroma is a sour raspberry fruit, much like yogurt and cheese. Flavor is a sweet sour fruity mix. Body is medium and plentiful.

Courtesy of kramer17801. Cloudy, hazy ruby red body with a small beige head with a slight pink tint. Sour pie cherry nose with cheese, lactic acid, light berry and horseblanket. The flavor is lightly sweet, moderately sour with an enormous amount of sour pie cherries, lots of raspberry, some yogurt, cheese, melon and lemon. Medium body is soft with moderate carbonation. Finish is very long with a lasting pithiness.
