In bottle from Beer Planet. This ones a gusher. Pours a hazy dark golden brown colour with a fair beige head. A great wild yeast and balsamic vinegar aroma from 20 paces. Funky wet cardboard, lemon and cranberries also. Similar dry and musty flavours with oak, sharp cranberries and lemon again. Moderate carbonation and a foamy mouth-feel. Just a thin. Nonetheless a spectacular wild beer!

50 cl bottle @ Panimoravintola Beer Hunter’s. Batch #337: brewed 30.08.2008, BBE 30.01.2010
Aroma is rather stale and sour with some manure, cowberries, cranberries and urinal cake (if not urinal itself). Also hints of citrus. Flavour is dry, tart and sourish with cowberries, some cranberries and hints of lactic acid. Stale, weird and messy, but interesting though.

0.5 bottle. Aroma of berries, sourness and brett. Red copper colour, a bit cloudy. Thick offwhite head. Sour, spicy and the flavor of the cranberries really makes it presence. Very eager to exit the bottle, gusher. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

A pretty unattractive muddy brown, Gushed from the bottle a little. Nose a little dusty, with some eucalyptus heat. All the nasties have got to this. Not a great sour fan but feel this has gone a bit far. Some deep heat menthol flavors. Might be somes cuppa tea, but not mine.

500ml bottle pours a pale cloudy amber color with a small white head that settles leaving only a small trace of lacing on the glass. Aroma is pleasant fruitiness and light toasted malts. Taste is initially light malt and fruit sweetness with a tart sourness coming later on the tongue. Alcohol is well hidden. Medium body and decent carbonation. Nice brew.

(Bottle) Pours hazy orange red with a small head. The aroma holds tart berries (mostly lingonberries) and dry cracker-like malt alongside some chemicals notes. More lacto than brett on the nose. Hints of wood, sweat, horse blanket and maybe a touch of old hops. The flavour is light sweet to dry and light to medium acidic with clear notes of lingonberries, lacto and light brett. Nice dry malt profile. The mouthfeel is tart with a light to medium carbonation. Almost no alcohol present. Light bodied.

Bottle from beerplanet web shop. hazy amber color with medium white head. Aroma of tart apple, lemon wood. Taste, cherries, tart apples, marzipan, caramel, light bitter hops, wood. Sour bitter finish. Not my style, but I liked this brew..

500 mL bottle from State Line Liquors. Pours a hazy orange color with a thin fizzy white head. Good head retention. Aroma of musty funk, berries, cranberries and caramel. The taste is tart cranberries, funk, earth and vegetal notes, strawberry and other fruits, olive and caramel. Medium bodied. Interesting.

The fruit here is more pronounced when this beer is first out of the fridge but you get a touch working all the way through the temperature range. The tartness comes out a little later in the drink. Pleasant and light tart aspect. Just enough to be entertaining. Nice drink.
