(Draught) Pours a hazy amber body with a medium off-white head. Aroma of herbs, red bell pepper, cherry, light yogurt, and earth. Flavor of vinous, black cherry, lacto, brett, red plum, earth, and caramel with a dry finish.

on tap at Buckeye Beer engine, pour is a deep brown with little to no head, nose is sour, much more sour than it tastes, taste is bretty and woody smooth finish with a slight tart twinge. another good entrance into the sour world.

From the Jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center Denver 18/09/2010 Sour aroma. Bronze coloured fruity and sour with a yeasty and dry malt finish.

GABF 2010. Pours clear orange with an average, fizzy cream colored head, medium retention with good lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (cookie, caramel, straw), light hops (woody), average esters (fruity) with notes of cherry. Flavor is heavy malt (bread, cookie, caramel), light hops (woody), average esters (fruity) with notes of plum, cherry, and butter. Medium body and carbonation, low warmth and creaminess with a dry finish.

On tap at the beer engine. Pours cloudy dark brown color with thin whispy off white head. Aroma had woody notes and subtle notes from the bugs. Thin mouthfeel, almost watery. Flavor has the beginnings of a good beer. Subtle tart and funky. Dry finish. Problem with this beer is it lacks acidity, body, and sourness. I think if they learn to up the acidity, add more body - that will make a superior beer. Proper blending may help. Still nice to try.

gabf 2010, Rudolf is much better than me describing these sours, tart, sour cherry, chilled red wine with some funk and tartness. decent & confusing

Nose is caramel, lightly sweaty brett & wood, dark fruits. Flavor is tart, slightly woody with a bunch of cherry & alcohol. Eh.
