3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20 loweredsixth (946) - Clovis, USA - MAR 25, 2005
Dark ruby brown color with a small beige head. The aroma had some slight vinegar, cherry, wood, and some nice earthy.soil-like tones. The flavor was rather sour...vinegar, very tart cherries, cardboard, slight metalic coil tones. The feel was quite watery and thin...very soft carbonation...wet finish.

Pours a medium brown color, with a HUGE beige head. Tart and sour, with some light spice notes. A little bit of sweetness, too.

Melanoidin-reddish body with a browned caramel head that flushly covers the glass and settles down nicely. Distinct horsey brett nose punctuated by sweet tart. Mellowed, wood-aged tart and brett-tinged body. The sourness is contained and massaged nicely into a complex experience that does not stray towards extremes. Medium-bodied and fairly sessionable for the style.

Half-pint @ Chuck’s. Tasty sour though rather standard. $10 a pint?!? Good God, man, that’s crazy. Grabbed a half-pint ’cause that’s how I roll. Sour in all the places and very drinkable.

12oz bottle, I believe I got from knightly spirits on orange blossom. Dark brown pour with a slight off-white head. Aroma of tart cherry, light vinegar and wood. Tastes are tart, white grapes, cherry, some dark fruit, and caramel. Sourness putters out a bit in the finish. Crisp and very drinkable overall. Enjoyed it.

Poured from a botetle into a pint glass. Appearance is a dark, slightly mrky brown with a thin head of beige foam. In the aroma is a pleasant green apple tartness with a nice dark candied fruit in the background. In the taste its primarily a pleasant sourness with a nice balance of dark malt sweetness.

Nice pour but the head doesn’t last long like most sours. Sour taste is followed up by a well balanced sweet brown caramel flavor. Not notably sour but a good wild brew.

Bottle. Copper body with very little head. Sweet with a sour finish. Very good Belgian beer for sour heads. Not being one, I was less enamored with it. Good sweet and sour balance. Just short of upper echelon.

This poured a lighter brown color with a biege head. Aroma was sweet cherries, some vinegar, and some cheesy malts. Flavor was moderately sour, but a little sweet, and some toasted oak notes and funk. Ok.
