Bottle from Middlebrook Liquor. Man, it seems weird that I can get a beer like this just a few miles from my house. Really, just stop by on way hove from work and pick it up. Anyhoo, this was really good. Plenty of wine and citrus, with hints of raspberry. Good stuff.

Bottle from BevMo! in Redwood City, CA. Aroma is mild funk, musty grape skins, raspberries. Taste is bubbly tartness, very crisp, sharp unripened fruit acid on the tongue but mellows as it moves down the throat.
Bottle from BrewDog online
Nice flowery ale. Little sourness can go straight to the roof but still in very drinkable way. Nice.
from Bier Café Au Trappiste - pours a hazy amber-orange beer with a little foam left; tart, citric and vinous aroma of berries and cherries, moderate malt backbone, sour and tasty, lively; woody finish with notes of red currant and cherries - very nice
A rosey pinkish ale with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with light raspberry jam, light acidity, light Brett, nice and smooth. In mouth, a nice tart berry with light lactic notes, light raspberry jam, very nice and smooth. On tap at Bar Lupulus
375ml bottle pours semi hzy pinkish orange with medium large head. Nose and taste have damp musty wood funk, dry farm berries, soft red grape, light spice. Sharp acidity. A bit muted and a touch sharp to be truly great, heavy on the wood funk and the fruit takes a bit of a backseat. Just ok.
(Bottle) hazy, bright red colour with a small white head; aroma of fruit,hint of funk; sour flavour with a long, medium sour finish
(12oz btl) - Not much of a pop when the cap came off, and a sent white ring of foam. Pretty orangy-pink body. Lots of bubbles coating inside of the glass. Mouth feel like a soda pop. Flavors of naval oranges and sour cherry, plus the usual snappiness from the wild bugs. Nice flavors. But, I wish it had a bit more body to it.
Moderate sour and fruity aromas. Pink in color with light head. Moderate sourness. Taste has notes of raspberry, and faint wine grape
Pours clear rosé color with pale pink head. Aromas of sour fruit. Sour raspberry flavor. Light to medium body with average carbonation.
Bottle from Tavour
Pours a slightly hazy golden orange color with a decent sized white head that persists. Fruity lemony tart on the nose with hints of earthy funk and light clove. Tart and puckering but with a great fruit flavor that I wasn't expecting. Pretty great beer.
Pours a slightly hazy rose gold from the bottle with bubbly white head that dissipates quickly to leave light lace. Aroma of musty oak, tart berries, and lactic acidity. Taste is even more of the acidity and the fruit, less of the wood here, dry and tart finish. Pretty amazing for the price.
