3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Pours a clear ruby tinged amber with a thin white to beige head. Nutty acetone and sweetness on the nose, alcohol is not too apparent. A bit of brett shows up as well. Medium to thick bodied, fruity and malty, a bit of nuttiness. Warm on the finish. No big alcohol notes, but the alcohol is certainly present, just not immediately detectable, but you definitely know it’s there. Long and funky on the end, cheesy and bretty. Warming alcohol swells up after the finish only to be followed by more cheesy funk. Interesting.

12 oz bottle shared by jay. Pours a clear light amber copper with a thin filmy head and spotty lace. Aroma is chemical, nutty, acetone, solvent, fusel, cherry and cherry pit off cyanide, with rat poison and woody hnts. Flavor is cherry pit, spfruity skins, earth, leather wood, medium to high acisity hints of aceto creeping in. Watermelon rind, ligth boozy, solvent, acetone, and strong finish. Big sour beer is too boozy and off the wall woth too many off flavors and smells. Meh.

Thanks to David Castleton at Woodshop Classix
Appearance: Pours a fairly clear cloudy rust.
Aroma: Funky sour fruit, acetic yeast. Fermented peaches.
Taste: Blush wine barrel. Tart vinegar funk and some metallic brett in the finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied, astringent.
Overall: This beer has a familiar profile to some of the other wine barrel aged Avery Barrel-aged’d beers. Very complex.

A wonderful drinking experience. Pours a reddish orange with a nice stickiness. Quite funky, leathery, earthy. Not that sour but fuckin drinkable. An excellent beer.

Tap @ the Avery Anny fest. Pours a lightly hazed reddish orange with a small off white head. Nose holds tart red wine grapes, dry oak and some Brett funk. Palate is medium tart and quite vinous.

Bottle generously shared at Woodshop - thanks! Hazy yellow pour with slight foam. Aroma is heavy, semi-rough sour/tart with some red wine type of influence. I get the wine barrels in the taste with a fairly thick and rough sour profile. Bit of tart in their as well but not really much funk.

12oz beer shared by Tim by way of JB, thank you guys. Pours a clear, glowing copper-orange-reddish color. Aroma is thin cherry sourness that is about all. Alcohol is well hidden though. The flavor has a little more substance but still pretty one-dimensional - thin cherry sour. Meh. I would drink it regularly if it were like $10 a sixer.

On tap at Avery Anniversary Party 8/7/11. Color is an amber orange with good carbonation and a thin tight head. Aroma is sour with brett notes of hay and barn. It has a lighter medium body with a crisp mouth feel. Flavor is sour up front with a mild brett note, then it goes sweet and a light fruit taste of pineapple and pear. In the after taste the sour comes back up and lingers on a bit. Overall its a very good sour.

12 oz bottle. Pours a cola colored brown with a thin, tan head. Crazy nice nose of dark fruit and apricots. Mmmm...love sticking my nose in this one. Balanced flavors of barrel wood, sweet cherries. sour funk, straw and citrus. Finishes mildly dry. A very nice wild ale /sour and another winner from Adam and the crew

12oz bottle dated Feb 11, 2011.
Deep red pour with a small amount of tan head that receded into a ring. Smells woody, fruity, and very tart- delicious. Taste is very acidic with lots of oak and sour cherry. I really enjoyed this and am glad I was able to find it.
