4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
25oz bottle. Tasted just after the release last year. Looks fantastic red/brown darker hue, white head, great lacing. Aromas are potent, funk/tart/sour notes, cherry, ripe plum, woody, earthy. Amazing palate, sour fruit, with an acidic finish. This will get better over time, I’m happy to have 5 more where that came from.

750mL shared by Bill, the geekest beer geek in KC. I got the bottom of the bottle. Aroma is lots of acetic and acidic berry fruitiness but not over the top. The flavor is thinner that I would like but not too thin. The thinness that usually comes from bad acetic beer. A little low on the carbonation. The beer is tart-sour, acetic mainly but not too much. I like the berries that come out of the flavor. A little thin and just a bit of a novice sour beer. I like it but it needs to be better.

Pours brown red with a yellowish head.
Nice tart taste of strawberries. This is a well made beer but not my favourite style...
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle. Pours red-brown, small head. The aroma is sweeter than the taste. Both the aroma and the taste has some strong strawberry notes. The taste has also got a touch of wood. Fruity. High drinkability.
