3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle. Excellent sour. Dirty orange pour, minimal head. Nose is apple and cherry. Medium palate. Great taste of mild brett, very mild/controlled tart and sour elements, cherry, some wood, and grape. Really good beer, and very approachable for a sour.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottle. Pours a reddish-brown with a medium beige head. Funky aroma with notes of cherries, wood, brett and a hint of vanilla. Great flavor of cherry, vanilla, brett, oak and zin. Just slightly tart from the brett. Nice woody finish.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20

3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle: Reddish caramel, thin spritzy off-white head, fizzles out quickly, sparce lacing. Tart fruity nose, cherry skin, some wooden aspects too. Tart unripened fruitiness on the tongue. Mild sweetness, somewhat dry, with a well hidden 9.59% ABV. Smooth mouthfeel, moderate body. This one certainly tastes real, unlike many other examples. Overall its a tart lightly sweetened unripened like fruity (cherry) flavor with a background of some woodiness. Good stuff!
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft @ Avery taproom. Red-orange, a dark but warm hue with slight haze and a nice glow. Not much to no head. Aroma is maturely funky. Sour cherry, including skins and seeds. Drinkable. I can’t believe it has as high an ABV as it does. Excellent wood character is dry, mellow, and mature. Not too acidic. Has a solid Brett + cherries character with undercurrents of funk.
