DenverLogan (420), Oceanside, California, USA May 1, 2008 Ruby brown barrel aged cherry sour beauty with so much intrigue and loveliness and balance that I oh so much need to try it again la de da.
sebletitje (129), Tampa, Florida, USA Jul 16, 2008 Bottle courtsey of ??. Pours amber/red.
Nose is filled with yeast and light cherry tone. The flavor has again a lot of yeast and oaky, giving a tart, lightly sugary, but very dry and acidic aftertaste.
Really couldn’t get over the vinagry acidic taste. Overpriced. JK (2355), Twin Cities, Minnesota, USA Jul 15, 2008 Some brett in the aroma and the flavor. Lots of yeast in the aroma and light cherry. The flavor however, is loaded with sweet cherry, like cherry pie filling, perhaps not that sweet. A little acidic. Sour for a fruit beer. Mildly sour. A bright red color. A very nice fruit beer. Thanks to BDR for sharing. DragonStout (1138), Orlando, Florida, USA Jul 12, 2008 Poured an odd peach color with a thin lacing head.The nose was of vinious cherries with some sweetness. Flavour mellowed out ot some sour cherries with only a hint of sweetness.This was slightly strange but finished off sour. AgentSteve (606), Livermore, California, USA Jul 8, 2008 Updated: Jul 14, 2008Rare bottle courtesy of seaoflament, pours a cool bright pink with a hint of orange in it. The nose is Chardonnay like with a touch of tart cherries. The flavor tart mostly to start, with a subtle cherry mid, followed by a perfect oak, toasted almond nutty finish. As it warms a bit, subtle coconut is present in the nose. Really enjoyable on a 100+ California evening coinciding with my 600th rating and 37th Birthday. Boutip (1716), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Jul 7, 2008 Bottle courtesy of Gford217: Poured a light red color ale with a light pink bubbly head with some average retention and no lacing. Aroma consists of red wine and tart notes with some light sour cherries. Taste is a mix between some sour cherries, with some tart notes with loads of oak and some red wine notes. Average carbonation with limited funk notes when I was expecting a lot more from the description. Overall, I though this was easily drinkable and maybe a bit light for the kind of beer it would like to be.
