2011 bottle. Very tart. Slight raspberry. A little too much sour for my taste.

Hazy reddish, burnt orange pour. Lots of seedy raspberry, earthy floral notes, cereal, and some tart funk. Flavor is Tart and earthy funk up front, fruity and planty notes and sweet and tart raspberries. Light, dry body, with a light, spritzy, sharp carbonation. Fantastic sour, tart, fruity and dry, perfectly refreshing and deeply entertaining.

Pours amber. Aroma sweet raspberry. Very sour & pretty sweet raspberry with some oak barrel in there. This is a pretty fantastic sour, raspberrys are my favorite and this plays to all their strengths. It tastes like 7% ABV sour candy. Whats not to like.

Bottle as shown. Pours a cloudy ruby orange with paperthin white head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is raspberry, funk and brett. Thin mouthfeel with light rasberry flavor and nice tart finish. A very impressive sour from Goose Island.

Bottle scored by Jstax Thanks ! Pours a ruby amber color with a trace of bubbles that settle quickly. The nose is funky raspberry right up front with wet wood and barnyard touches. The palate follows the nose with more complexity coming through in the mid to late palate... nutmeg, vanilla, unripe raspberry and vinous barrel notes linger with notes of chardonnay grapes.

Medium copper, thin white head. Aroma of toasty malt, light sour cherries, raspberry. Flavor of bready and toasty malt, a little caramel, moderately tart cherries, raspberries, a little earthy spiciness and pepper-like heat late.

Bottle @ jim is jon tasting. Aroma is sourish red fruits, some wood, cherry and more. Flavour is medium sourness, big brett, some wood.

Bottle from Stirchley Wines and Spirits, Birmingham. Poured a cloudy, reddish pink, with no head. The aroma is yeasty with citrus notes. The flavour is sour, citrusy with loads of yeast. Very sharp and super tasty. Can’t wait to try more.
