Bottle, bb 4/23 (WInes on Poath). Importer's label says ABV is 6% - it would be illegal to sell it here without a truthful statement of ABV. Opaque greyish red with a white head. Lots of cardamom in the aroma as well as crackery dough and vague stone fruit. Much more plummy upon a taste and the cardamom - which was maybe a little excessive in the aroma - is pushed a little into the background. A bit of that generic purple grape flavour. Soft texture with moderate sourness and some twiggy spices at the end. Good stuff.

500 ml bottle into tulip glass, bottled in 11/2017. Pours hazy reddish/pinkish orange color with a 1-2 finger dense light pink head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big tart/tangy plums, fruit skin, cherry, raspberry, lemon, orange, red/green apple, red grape/wine, cardamom, citrus zest, pepper, oak, hay, herbal, grass, wheat, and toasted bread; with lighter notes of honey, caramel, oaken vanilla, leathery/musty funk, and yeast/oak earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, plums, cardamom, oak, and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tart/tangy plums, fruit skin, cherry, raspberry, lemon, orange, red/green apple, red grape/wine, cardamom, citrus zest, pepper, oak, hay, herbal, grass, wheat, and toasted bread; with lighter notes of honey, caramel, oaken vanilla, leathery/musty funk, and yeast/oak earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tartness, fruit tang, and light yeast/cardamom/oak tannin spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy plums, fruit skin, cherry, raspberry, lemon, orange, red/green apple, red grape/wine, cardamom, citrus zest, pepper, oak, hay, herbal, grass, wheat, toasted bread, light leather/funk, and yeast/oak earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, plums, cardamom, oak, and moderate bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/tartness and tangy fruit balance; with zero puckering flavors after the finish. Light--moderate increasing dryness from tartness and tangy fruit. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy, fairly acidic/tangy, and lightly tannic balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol for 6.5%. Overall this is an outstanding fruited sour/wild ale. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, plums, cardomom, oak, and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth and refreshing to drink with the mellowly acidic/tangy/drying finish, never overly lactic. Really fantastic balance of the plums, cardamom spice, and Brett/Lacto complexity; nice bready malt backbone and oak presence. Feels like more of a sour red overall, but not too sweet. A highly enjoyable offering.

Draft. Cardamom, plum, malt, and straw aroma. Cloudy pink/orange with small head (looks like pink grapefruit juice). Moderately sweet cardamom, plum, malt, and lightly bitter hay flavor. Nice balance. Very pleasant.
