Rated 4-13-13. 2009 vintage. Unclear pinkish red. Soft pink head. Dry fruity sour, smooth tarty. Berries. Balanced and delicate. Sips tickle my palate into my nose. This comes together very well as a package.

cintasenese (12) - ITALY - APR 4, 2013
Un’esperienza mistica. Un crescendo di sensazioni dal momento di stappare la bottiglia fino all’ultimo sorso. Carbonazione molto lieve, acidità pronunciata, ma bilanciata magnificamente dal fruttato delle ciliegie. Bevuta anche di annate precedenti, dove naturalmente l’acidità sale di tono e la birra diventa molto più astringente. Da gustare meditando.

Tap. Deep cherry red with a large pink collapsing head that leaves a bit lacing. Aroma is cherries, cherry stones/almond, light wood, leather. Taste is medium sweet and sour. Medium/light body, oily/watery texture, medium carbonation. Ends dry with cherry and wood.

Aubrey (3347) - Bellingham, Washington, USA - MAR 21, 2013
Bottle at the brewery: Funky-good beer with a real wholesomeness to it. Nutty, earthy, slightly tart and sour. Mild bitterness. Countless aromas, but none jump out obnoxiously. Very fun beer.
