Feb 27, 2008 Poured a hazy amber color with an off-white head. The aroma was mildly tart and funky with notes of leather. A mild tartness made up the flavor as well. Some fruity notes. Dry finish. Nice warmth.

Feb 18, 2008 Updated: May 12, 2008Extreme Beer Fest 2/15/08: Yum! Very sweet and fruity. Tasted of apples, tangerines, pears. It had a lambic-like quality to it. I thought it would be classified as a Belgian ale and was surprised to find out that it actually is a sour ale. An enjoyable beer.

Update 5/12/08: Bottle. Pours a dark, cloudy brown with a white head (I remembered it being a light color, but apparently not...). Aroma of sour fruits and sweetness. Flavor is super sweet with some oak/wood notes. I don’t get any alcohol per se but this is sweet sweet sweet and has a very heavy mouthfeel. It is ok for the first few sips, but then it gets too sweet and it took me forever to finish.
