Draft at Paratii Craft Bar. Pours a crystal clear brilliant ruby red with a dense creamy tan head. Lots of webby lace. Bold tart nose hits you with a wallop; sharp bracing acidity from both a shining dark vinegary lacto and a penetratingly vinous red wine berry giddyup. Creamy medium body with lively presence. Attack comes on tart but not puckery, just rich with strawberries, moss, and balsamic. Mid palate kicks over with a pucker that washes out into a nicely refreshing and somewhat gentler finish. This has the complexity and refreshment to take a deserved place on any list of world sours you want to put together. Completely. Fucking. Amazing.

Nose is vinous fruity and tart with wood grapes lactic sourness. Nice aroma. Pours reddish purple with an off pi k head. Flavors of tart grapes lactic sourness wood nice and fruity vinous. Medium carbonation smooth and tart but quenching and well done. Crisp lingering fruity tartness.
