12.7 ounce bottle from Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a clear ruby color with a large creamy head. Thins fairly quickly to a half finger layer of head. Decent lacing. Aroma of dry earthy funkiness with a tannic red wine vibe. Taste is very smooth. Dry red wine funkiness with a sweet sugary note. Medium bodied.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Dark brown, almost clear body and a small tan head. Light tart, fermented fruit, cherry, wood chips, ed apple. Medium sourness that develops in the back of the mouth but is in no way overdone or ook harsh. Fairly carbonated, which really works. On the other hand it is not as complex as some geuzes, but this is a fine, flavourful beer. Aftertaste is short and leaves you craving for a new sip. Nicely done brew. (375ml bottle, bit expensive)

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Brown with a small head. Aroma is white wine, cherries, green apples and marginally also raspberries, subtle malt and cork. Sour, slightly sweetish taste - the sour side is not sharp, so the little sweetness suffices to balance the whole. Very crisp, vinous taste that goes well with the rather high carbonation and finishes moderately dry, sour, marginally bitter and leaves a vinous aftertaste of apples and cherries. Great sour!

Pleasant and refreshing. Pours dark brown. Aromas of green apple, tamarind. Taste is tart. Lots of flavour for a low alcohol drink.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
This was ok. Had it out of the bottle after cellaring for about a year. Next to no head. Dark brown with deep ruby when held up to the light. Aroma is faint, but there is some there is a sour apple note and some sweetness. The taste is similar to the smell; sour apple, lime, and some malt sweetness to balance.

I tried this beer on October 4, 2011 after purchasing from the Queen’s Quay LCBO outlet. The beer poured a murky brown colour with translucent edges and a thing tan cap. The aroma was tart cherries and vinegar. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium high carbonation. The flavour was tart cherries up front, some sweetness in between, and a very sour finish.
