Bottle thanks to Puzzl. Deep orange amber in color with a little white head. Fruity apply. hoppy aroma. Coriander notes. Sour fruity flavor. Cherry notes. Finish is tart. Medium bodied. Very drinkable. Nice beer.

I’m glad I didn’t enter my review from RBSG for this, because it was much better the second time I had it. Pours a murky reddish brown. Nice tart cherry, green apple, yeasty spiciness, and an almost mustard like character on the nose. Flavor is an explosion of tart green apple and cherries as well as some sweet toffee like malt. The mustard also comes through on the finish, but it is a very nice complement to the flavor. This was much better than I remembered, and I will be taking a few home to see what more time does for this beer.

Bottle at Rudy’s tasting, courtesy of frylock. Nice sour musty aroma - a little lemon in there as well. Dark rusty copper, small white head. Great taste - refreshing sour and musty malt. Perfect carbonated, with more lemon and spice in the finish. I really liked this one.

Slightly hazy orange-brown body beneath a thin white head. Funky, yeast aroma that also has notes of cheese and tropical fruits. Pleasant tartness, but no overly sour flavors. Lots of fruity citrus notes and some floral earthy flavors too. Not bad.

Pours with a two-finger thick, light tan colored head that sits atop a hazy, lightly chunky, reddish amber colored brew. The beer has a distinct aroma as I pour it that reminds me of a desert-type, white wine grape varietals; one with a touch of tartness, but a really nice fruity, sweetish character to it reminiscent of apricots, and perhaps a touch of orange zest. A tart backdrop to the aroma certainly does not dominate, but adds a nice level of complexity to the more noticeable fruit notes. I also notice notes of almonds and amaretto up front. As my nose gets used to this brew I start to notice some light, yet serious funkiness here; notes of stinky-farmhouse cheese, limburger, moldy wood, dank mushrooms and really what just seems like old cheese are all faintly noticeable underneath the more dominant aromatics; though I must say the funkiness becomes more apparent the more my nose gets used to the brew; still it is never overwhelming. I also notice aromas of sweet spices like clove, nutmeg and some sort of woody herb like birch or perhaps sarsaparilla. This ends up with a very complex nose, though I could see the funkiness being a bit off-putting to some; for me though, I definitely am enjoying the last 7 minutes I have spent smelling this brew.<br /><br /> The flavor still has a light sweetness to it, plus the apparent tartness, both of which accentuate the fruit character of this beer. There is also a subtle spiciness here that has components of clove, perhaps some cardamom, a touch of mace and again some root spice notes here that I can’t quite pinpoint. Fruity notes of Macintosh apples, raisins, sweet-concentrated plums &#40;though not quite to the point of prunes&#41;, hints of fresh fig, a chewy cherry note and a berry-like currant note are all discernable here. There is still some malt character here, one always gets a sense of it without quite picking the individual contributions out, but when I do distinctly taste it I get notes of caramel, toasty malt, and a soda cracker-like note; all of these individual malt flavors are very subdued though. The sourness is noticeable, yet fairly subtle; it really plays a supporting role here and fortunately it is a role that it plays quite well.<br /><br /> This is a thoroughly enjoyable brew; rich and complex, it is certainly a sipping brew. Despite this, it is not heavy, the light sourness really helps to make this that much more drinkable and even enjoyable. I really like how the various flavor / aromatic groupings of this beer come together; fruit, spice & funky tartness all contribute significantly to form a unified drinking experience.
