3.7 Bottle - thanks Levi! Clear deep orange pour with a spotty white head. Mild sour fruit and Brett on the nose. Smooth palate with mild carbonation. Very good.

3.7 Flaske (gave fra Asle Bjørn) delt med Ovesen i solskinnet en bryggerisøndag i oktober: aroma av tyttebær (no surprise there) og silohøy. Tørr, frisk og med en slank og elegant kropp som gjør den eminent nytbar.

4.2 Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle into a tulip glass. The label lists the abv at 8% and it has a spot for a date to be printed but it was not filled in. Appearance: The body has a woody brownish color and a heavy cloudy haze. On top it sports a light tan head with specks of tan yeast sediment. This tall loose packed head settles down to a small cap of foam that hangs on well and makes for some spotty/slick lacing on the glass. Smell: There is a tart, almost currant like character to the aroma. Taste/Palate: A pleasant tartness slides across the palate and brings notes of sweet/tart berry, currant and as it warms cider like tart green apple. This tart fruity character sits up on a base of dry bready and yeast notes with a touch of earthy funk. It finishes dry and pleasantly tart with a very slight touch of spice. Notes: My overall feeling on this beer is simply, F-ing A this is a tasty beer!

4.0 Nice red to brown body, offwhite head. Aroma has berries, lots of sourness, spices, lingoberry and cranberry, red wine, horse sweat. Excellent comlexicity. Flavour has sour candy and berries, some brettanomyces. Thin and when warms it becomes bit floury and yeasty. Much lambicy.

3.5 500 ml bottle. #337. Bottled 30/01/08. BB 30/01/18. (Fish & Beer) Copenhagen, Denmark. Hazy brown colour with a small greyish light brown colour. Came gushing out of the bottle. The aroma is deliciously brettanomyces infused. The flavour is sourness, tartness, mild sweetness, bretta, manure and some berries. This is very interesting brew. Lambic-likeness is very evident.

3.0 Bottle shared @ ? Tasting. Pours a murky amber. Funky sour fruit aroma. You can taste the cranberries, there’s a sweetness that fellows the sourness

3.5 Bottle @ tht, gusher!!. Pours a murky brown beer with a quickly disappearing brown head. Aroma is full of Brett, barnyard funk and fruit. Flavour is not that sour, quite bitter abd dry. Cranberry finish, quite nice.

3.5 Pours murky Brown. Aroma is sour with lots of brett. Some dark fruits as well. Taste is not so sour, acidic and fruity. Not a long lasting aftertaste.

3.4 Bottle shared at THT thanks to Mrhangover. Pours murky orange brown with a small tan head. Aroma of barnyard, red overripe fruits, slightly vinous. Flavour is light to moderate sweet and acidic. Medium bodied with light prickly carbonation.

3.2 50cl bottle @THT tasting from MrHangover. Very thin white head. Hazy amber pour. Not bad for a sour.

2.9 Lite av en gusher. Doftar funk och stall rejält. Tydlig doft av urinoarsten! Härligt att bara sitta och dofta på, för den smakar nämligen fan. Något bär är helt omöjligt att känna.

3.3 Batch 337, Brygget 300108, BBE, 300110. A lively beer that almost pours in the table. A reddish beer with a big head that almost disappered quickly, but then increased again and it is beige and medium. Interesting and weird aroma, berries, sourness, some vinegar, lingonberries and strawberries. Some acid berries are there all the time. Taste of berries, quite high sourness, lingonberries. Only medium- bodied, medium carbonation. This beer would need more strenght for the body, then the taste would be more depth, now this is slightly as berry juice. Not totally conviced, but anyway, interesting beer in the steps of Flanders Red.

3.4 500ml bottle. Gusher, pours hazy amber with a large airy off white head that fades quickly to a wispy film. Aroma is tart sour spearmint and funk with a subtle scent of sugary fruit. Taste is funk sour tartness some stinky cheese and rotten fruit of apple/cranberries and more spearmint. Palate is thin to medium with a ton of carbonation and a drying lactic finish. This is mellow, but sharp in the way that it finishes.

3.6 Big thanks to MikeLovesBeer for sharing this one. Not sure how old this one is but since it’s a sour I can’t imagine any harm came to it. It wasn’t an overpowering sour, just somewhere in the middle. Nice fruit balance and tartness to boot.

3.6 Pours amber with an orange hue and creamy beige head. The aroma is wild yeast but no berries since this bottle is a few years old. The flavor brings wild yeast and then some sweet, non-pungent berry notes tickling the backend nicely. The carbonation was gushing either unlike the other Norwegian wild ale with cranberries I just drank.

4.5 Bottle @ home, 50 cl, batch 337, brewed on 30 01 08, bbd 30 04 18, stored in my cellar. First rating 9/13/12: Unclear orange with a frothy but quickly diminishing off white head. Entiding funky, sour sweet fruity berry aroma, spicy, barnyard, with lots of lingonberries. Flavor is bretty, bitter lingonberries, sweet pale malts, wood. Sparkling, astringent, drying mouthfeel. Full body, bitter lingoberries and maybe a little bitter hops in the finish. Different, funky, flavorful. Initial rating: 7-3-7-3-15 Had another bottle of this on the 25th of January 2013 and it was even better: Intensely lingonberrish. Bretty. Sour-sweet. Edgy. Bubblegum on acid. Wauv!!! 9-4-9-5-18

3.6 Bottle. Hazy brown liquid with small to medium off-white head. Aroma is very funky with notes of barnyard, sweat, toilet, lingonberries, oak, a bit lacto, very light biscuity malt and wheat. Taste is dry and light to medium sour with some lingonberries (harsh lingonberries) and funk. Medium bodied with medium carbonation. This funk isn’t very well executed, it’s all over the place. Some nice lingonberry though.

3.7 Bottle 50 cl. Pours clear res amber with a great pinkish off white head leaving lace. Aroma is sweet stable sourish cellar menthol old urinoar. Flavor is sour slightly sweet fruity in front, astringent dryish and watery from middle to end with slightly lingonberry and sour bitter aftertaste.

3.8 Bottle at home. Courtasy of Inbreak. Bottled 2008. Has a clear amber colour with a small light beige-grey head which is pretty compact and lasting. The beer is very carbonated. Nice and sour aroma of wood, bitter berries, pine, heather, red currants, and feels slightly sweet. Wonderful balanced sourness in the flavour along with wood, cranberries, barnyard, cheese and burned wood in the end. Sparkly and soft mouthfeel, and light bitterness. A delicious beer with a nice touch of norwegian forest. Round and nice.

3.0 Backlog, bottle at Olympen. Intense sour.. Medium body & medium/high Enjoyable

3.6 500 ml bottle from Wine and Cheese Place, obtained a while back. Gushes upon popping the cap off. Pours a hazy ruby-tinted amber. The huge off-white head settles quickly. Aroma of cranberry, grape, funk, oak, and sweet malts. Flavor of cranberry, herbs, oak, grape skins, and earth. Medium-bodied, with a fruity, mineral mouthfeel that dries up quickly. High carbonation. Interesting sour, really liked the nose.

2.1 28th June 2010 Cloudy brown - orange beer. Frothy off white head. Odd nose. Brett, herbs, fruit, smoke! Bone dry palate. Tart unsweet cranberry with subtle but odd herby smoke. Chalky bone dry finish. Odd taste, awful palate.

4.2 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!

3.3 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.

4.2 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.

2.9 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.

3.7 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.

3.6 (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.

3.5 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..
