Who's been drinking this

Strong plum sour with some extra puckering. I fear this is suffering by comparison to the other very good sours I've had tonight.
Sour on the nose, with a smooth almost fruity taste in the tongue. Has a slight tootsie roll finish.
Bottle
Short punctuated sour start. Slightly sweet body. Tart sourness continues, some apple qualities.
