Bought one of strangeways sours (blackberry?, 375ml) last year for like $18 and it was terrible. Boycotted since. Glad to see they got it together.
Strangeways is the most inconsistent brewery I know of.
they've released some great sours (Blueberry Word) and some colored nail polish remover (probably the Oscillate Wildly you described). their Weird/Wyrd Sisters series are gross and the bottles just hang around, even a year+ later. I don't know anyone local who goes there anymore as no one wants to spend $7-9/glass for a potential drain pour...
