fiver29 (303), Strongsville, Ohio, USA Aug 23, 2008 Bottle shared at Cleveland tasting on 8-23-08. Thanks!! Bottle pours a reddish color with a off white head. Has a nice tart aroma with some cherries added in. Flavor follows with some nice tart cherry, lemon, some must flavors, and finishes with a mellow tartness that I like. Overall this is nice brew. I am glad I got the chance to try it. Bhops (195), Dallas, Texas, USA Aug 21, 2008 bottle thanks to mar. Pours reddish/pink, with aroma of brett and cherry. Flavor to match... sour cherry and red wine, with medium palate. Overall a great sour. mar (568), Dallas, Texas, USA Aug 17, 2008 bottle thanks to jimbowood. amber pinkish pour with a no real head. great sour/tartness on the nose along with cherries and brett. wow, what a flavor, cherries with a great sour note and a smooth woody finish. very impressive. bb (2088), Martinez, California, USA Aug 16, 2008 Bottle. reddish color with just a little whitish lacing. Dusty, cherry aroma. Tart, cherry flavor with backing lemon, green apple, and oak. Medium body. Tart/sour lingers with the fruitiness in balance. Acetic in background. Refreshing. Not bad. BDR (1864), Roseville, Minnesota, USA Aug 14, 2008 Many thanks to spacecyote for this treat. Cherry and brett funk in the aroma. A sweet body with a very tart flavor for an american sour. A beautiful red color with a faint cloudiness. One of the best American sours I’ve had on par with offerings from the Lost Abbey and Russian river. Alpine continues to impress as one of the best breweries I’ve ever tried.
