    I just got these two in a trade and I was curious as to whether there is anyone out there who had it fresh at the festival and who has also had it more recently. Is the fruit flavor going to fade as it ages and give way to more sourness? Basically I'm trying to figure out whether it will be better to drink it sooner as opposed to later. I love sour beers, but for these two I think I would prefer to taste the fruit more than any funk or sourness it may gain with aging. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

    If you want fruit, you drink fresh, aging is a gamble.

    Went to the festival and drank abottle this past weekend of both.... AL is still drinking fantastic and has a chance to age very gracefully a la Atrial... Nocturn is still drinking great as well and the fruit is still noticeable. We drank Atrial batch 1 (March 2013) next to a 2010 LP Framboise and some in the group liked Atrial more, but all agreed it was eeriily close

    I would drink NC soon, that blackberry is super delicate. AL is keeping that apricot flavor really well.
