Dec 12, 2007 Tap @ CBC – Hazy orange, thin creamy pinkish white head. Intense funked sour cherry skin aromas lay upon soft waves of juicy lemon, wood, balsamic vinegar, and touches of musty cheese. Mouth puckering acidic cherry lemon sourness and farmyard funky cheese flavors flow over musty oak from start to finish. Think La Folie sour here. Light bodied, light carbonation, super sour finish. 9% expertly hidden as well. This was the end of the keg, so I’m grateful to have tried this. Could easily have been from Belgium. Great brew…

Oct 31, 2007 Multiple samples at BBF. As you may have noticed, this was a clear winner at
Night of the Funk. Had a reddish-pink appearance with slight bubbly head (as much to be expected in the small sampler). Smelled like funk and cherries, along with oak and brett. Just beautiful. But the taste was where it was at. Super sour and full of tart cherry flavor. Prickly on the tongue and lively all the way through. Finishes pretty acidic and dry. Man, this stuff was awesome. Best of the fest in my book.

Oct 31, 2007 (Draught) Pours a sparkling clear ruby body with a small off-white head. Aroma of cherry, oak, balsamic vinegar, light barnyard qualities, and some floral notes. Flavor is intensely acidic, plenty of cherry, and some honey with a dry finish. Quite nice!

Oct 30, 2007 Multiple samples at BBF 07. Probably the most sour beer I had all weekend. It almost hurt to drink it but it was so damn good. Pours a lighter than expected faded clear pinkish with a reddish orange tinge- light fizzy head. Aroma is sharp tart cherries, tons of acidity, lacto and bretty sourness, earth, and some farmhouse funk. Super sour cherry flavor, harsh acidity upfront on the tip of the tongue, brett, almond-astringency, high lactic acid, and rediculous sourness in the end- a bit prickly and dry as a bone. Awesome stuff. One of the best beers of the fest.
TURDFERGUSON (1000), Carrboro, North Carolina, USA
Oct 30, 2007 Tulip at CBC 10/26/07 and several draft samples at NOTF 07. Pours a deep ruby amber with a little white head that fades, Nose is very nice. cherry pits, vingear. Amazing flavor, hold the tartness very well while still remaining true to the fruit. Delcious stuff. This current batch is said to be 9.3%. Couldn’t taste a drop.
