Pours a dark burgundy with an off white head. Smells tart with some funk and yeast. Taste is sweet chewy cherry with mild tart finish. Not over powering, but a little light in flavor.

Absolutely incredible beer. Poured in a tulip glass at the Map Room on draft. Has a vinegar taste that doesn’t overwhelm. Definitely a balsamic thing going on, a nice sweet balance though. A delicous red/brown sour ale.

Almost like balsamic vinegar on the nose and a little on the palate. Pours dark red with very little head and no lacing. Had at Monk’s Cafe in Philly.

Aroma is light and hints of some cherry and wood and is subtle compare to other sours.

Good solid red sour for the price.
Leave your pretensions at the door.

Poured from a bottle, San Diego. Mine has some globular, translucent phlegm-like material floating to the head. Aroma of cherries, apples, very lambic-like. Strong carbonation. I would rate the appearance higher if my beer wasn’t loaded with what looks like globs of phlegm. Very attractive, deep red. Very sweet, with some bite and sourness. Very pleasant and refreshing. A light, refreshing beer that would appeal to women and non-beer drinkers, but is still a fine beverage.

Bottle at home. Deep amber - brown pour. Aroma is of cherries, dried strawberries, sherry, sour. Light bodied. Tastes of tart cherries, green apple, oaky. Long and complex finish, sweet and tart with bright fruit and wood notes. Quite complex.
3.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Accessible and perhaps a good choice for introduction to sours. Some complexity and appealing flavor.
