Pours bright red into a tumbler. Pink head quickly recedes to hug rim. Cherry and funk aromas. Crisp sour cherry upfront with a puckering dry finish.

Jul 7, 2008 Nice ruby red color, but no head at all. The smell is loaded with tart cherries and oak, it is also acidic and the horse blanket is lower than in others, but I prefer it this way. Taste is acidic right off the bat, tart cherries and oak are blended nicely with some horse blanket coming through in the finish. This one had very low carbonation and the mouthfeel was medium bodied, with the finish being somewhat dry. This one was pretty good, and I’d say taste is higher than 4, but I can’t give a 4.5. I also can’t say I’ll be getting this again as it’s just not worth the extremely high price I have to pay to get it.

Jul 1, 2008 375 ml bottle from SBD. Pours a dark purple color with a small pink head that soon recedes to nothing. The aroma is overtly sour with grapes, cherries and a bit of funk. The flavor is likewise very sour and tart with cherries, grapes and a hint of granny smith apple. The mouthfeel is light but satisfying with soft carbonation. The finish is short, dry and sour. I paired this with Comte cheese and they went together superbly. Overall: This is a very fine sour beer. Recommended.

Jun 30, 2008 A subdued pop from the cork on this one, and very little carbonation... a bit of fizzing during the pouring but no head left behind. Very sweet-and-sour, funky, fresh cherry aroma with a hint of the bretty, musty sourness to come... Flavors were ultra sour, very little sweetness, a nice dose of the fresh cherry flavor, and a tiny bit of bitterness. Lots of lingering funkiness, very mouth-watering stuff... the only thing stopping me from chugging it is the fact that it is RIDICULOUSLY SOUR. But still, perfect on a hot day, super refreshing, excellent stuff. Very tart, bone-dry finish. Can’t wait to have MORE...
