A dark amber color with an off white head and some lacing. Sour fruit aroma, rather dull. Taste started off sour cherry, and finished like water with a weak mouthfeel.

As a RU student, this beer brought me back to the ol raritan. The bartender said many people are not aware of this style and feel sick, though I thoroughly enjoyed it. Very fruity with a bit of sourness to it. Though not a session beer, its a good change of scenery and a fine example of the style.

On tap at Brewers Art. Poured a medium orange color. Citirs fruity aroma and tastes. Sour finish.

Brewers Art kegs keep showing up at my local watering hole (Grey Lodge Pub). I don't believe Brewers Art brewed this Sour Ale to quaff while watching college football, and maybe that's why it did not score high with me. I tried but could not get past the tartness of this beer.

Very light in body. The palate is very tart. The beer finishes way too hoppy (herbal) for the style. An average beer.

Red brown with small beige head. Aroma is mild sweet cherry. Taste is sour cherry. Medium/light body, slightly acidic.
