Just an awesome sour. Really clean raspberry flavors with moderate sourness. I'll be picking up more bottles of this....Got more in Oct - 2020. Even better than remember. Fantastic sour.
Unclear red color, small beige head. Aromas of raspberry jam, oak and wheat. Light tart taste with raspberries, wood and redcurrant. Dry finish.
Bottle from ridiculous sale at Craft Bar. Pours a bubbly ruby pink with white edges. The aroma is lightly sour but a hint of meaty raspberry. Flavor is nicely sour with a dry finish. Enjoyable.
0,375 litre Bottle from Systembolaget Charlottenberg. Red with white head. Sour raspberries, wild yeast, sweetness, Nice!
Ar: Raspberry; very refined, seed tannins; a little bit of hay. Ap: Red and slightly hazy; small off-white head with low retention, settling into a ring of medium-and-small bubbles with a little nebula covering. T: Tangy raspberry; grass, seed tannins, and lemon; bitterness is very low, almost nonexistant, with no noticeable hop flavor; clean lactic sourness, medium intensity; a hint of hay funk, but very, very light; bright raspberry and lemony sourness on the finish. P: Light body with high carbonation; lean but not thin; finish is dry. O: A clean sour ale that showcases raspberries; tart, fruity, and dry.
Bottle @Mad for Beer (Rome). Rossa/bruna, intensa, schiuma bianco-sporca medio-leggera. Al naso note di lamponi, frutta rossa, acetico leggero. In bocca è acida decisa, fruttata, tagliente, appena acetica. Corpo medio-alto, carbonazione media. Ok.
Bottle. Bright red with a tiny pink head. Raspberry and oak aroma. Fruity, funky, woody and sour. Very dry. Light bodied.
Bottle. Mitchell’s Wines, Sheffield. Clear, raspberry red. Thin, dense, fully lacing, pink head. Looks great. Nose has raspberry ice cream. Raspberry jam. Soft, sweet oak. Taste is sweet and tart fresh raspberry. Clean and light on the palate. Soft tartness. Crisp fizz. More juicy raspberry to finish. Lovely stuff.

Flaska från Beergium, 2-3 år gammal. Tjusigt röd med kritvit krona. Lätt och frisk med toner av hallon och hallonkärnor, björnbär, körsbär, röda och svarta vinbär. Gott!
Flaska från Beergium, 2-3 år gammal. Tjusigt röd med kritvit krona. Lätt och frisk med toner av hallon och hallonkärnor, björnbär, röda och svarta vinbär. Ganska saftig och kanske lite väl lätt, saknar en klangbotten för smakerna även om hallon alltid är gott.

Beautiful plum rose-red pour, foamy white head. Great aroma of raspberry jam, with hints of strawberry and oak. Taste follows, quite tart, maybe just a tiny bit thinner than expected.
Bottle shared by Tom - thanks! Bright rich red pour. Great raspberry nose and taste. Oak.
375ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, ruby colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, pink-ish head. Fruity and slightly funky, herbal and oaky aroma, slightly disguised notes of raspberry. Taste is dry, sour, minimally funky, slightly fruity, minimally diluted, earthy hints of raspberry, oaky overtones. Not too sour, quite refreshing - hoped for more fruitiness.
Keg at Doghouse Merchant City, Glasgow. Deep pink colour. Great aroma of cooked raspberries, pomegranate and perfume. Flavour has berry sweetness and tartness that lingers.
MBCC 2017 Red session. Red body with a pink head. Aroma of raspberries, funk, wood. Taste is sour and fruity with juicy berries. Crisp and refreshing, great taste
Malinowa barwa, właściwie pozbawione piany. W zapachu przede wszystkim maliny, dzikość, nuty winne, delikatne nuty octowe, wraz z upływem czasu dzikość zaczyna brać górę nad malinami. Kwaśne, leciutko słodkie, cierpki, taninowy finisz, daje mocno ściągające uczucie w ustach. Bardzo dobre piwo.
On keg at Brewdog Lothian Rd, Edinburgh.
Appearance - deep reddy pink. Thin lacy head with an edge of pink.
Nose - raspberry, funk. Something woody, but subtle.
Taste - sweet raspberry which then drops into tart raspberry through the finish. Again an omnipresent funky note.
Palate - light to medium bodied, long and lean finish.
Overall - good one!
Another great sour from Crooked Stave. Medium bodied and tart. Light raspberry sweetness tempers the flavor. Tried with NaPaulya and Jess at Crescent Moon in 2018.
A beautiful dark raspberry red ale with a thin big bubbled white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt tart raspberry jam with light acidity, light Brett, light lactic notes, nice and complex. In mouth, a nice tart raspberry jam, light acidity, light Brett, Epsom salts, very nice and complex. On tap at Bar Lupulus. Bar Lupulus
Bottle. Aroma is light raspberries, some lemon. Taste is very light, some sour, some fruits, a hint of funk, easy summer drink.

Pours hazy dark pink with small redish head, aroma of raspberries, citruses, sourness. Wild and rough taste, very sour, raspberries, malt, bit tart, fizzy carbonation, long dry finish. Very refreshing and enjoyable.
Tap at Brody's. Clear red with white head. Sweet and sour raspberry. Super dense raspberries. Some mold and funk. Moderate sweet and sour, almondy nutrients. Medium body and soft carbonation. Lovely fruitiness and we'll balanced sour.
Bright red colour, has bubbly head that went away. Aroma has sweet raspberries, sour red berries, nice combination of both the sour and sweet. Taste is rather sweet, more raspberries than sourness, although you can get the red sour berries out there. Medium body and high fizzy carbonation. Very good once again from Crooked Stave.
On tap at Shepherds Bush BrewDog. Bright deep pink red colour lasting pink head. Raspberry jam jumps out of the glass. Not too sour. Good balance. Lovely raspberry flavour. Not overly kettle sour. Yep like it. Not overly complex but delivers a good hit of fruit.
Draught at OMBF, September 2017. Pronounced tartness, light wild notes, dry, raspberries, light astringent finish. Good.
On tap at Brewdog Oxford. 1/3 pint. Pours a bright ruby red with a thin white head. Aroma: raspberries, lemon peel, grass, rock candy notes. Taste: raspberries, red lolly frogs, lemon flavours. Thin to medium bodied. Moderate carbonation. Moderate tartness that lingers on the palate. Easy drinking. Quite tasty. This was well balanced and interesting. Would happily have this again.
