On tap at Toronado. Pours a brownish-red with a bubbly white ring. Sour-tart aroma, of citrus, yeast, and malt. Tart-crisp taste, of yeast, malt, wood. Juicy. Lingering sourness. Decent.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Rating #20 of this brew. Bright orange with off white H & L. Nose is spiced lemon and yeast. Taste is flat tart. Not sweet at all. Mildly bitter with a nice flat sourness. Don’t expect big movement on the palate, because it plunks. Very mild, to a fault. Yeast smack and sllight salivary gland instigator.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
(Draught) Pours a hazy amber body with a small off-white head. Aroma of sweet tarts, white grapes, light apple, and some herbal notes. Flavor of hops (earthy, herbal), apple, and green raisins with a dry finish.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tap at Stone Sour Fest 2009. Pours a dark amber color. Weak aroma of light funk as well as some malt. Flavor is kind of surprisingly on the sweet side with some malt and a nice funk. Tart finish. One of the better ones of the day.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: MAR 12, 2011 On tap at Stone Sourfest. Pours with a hazy golden hue and a small white head. Aroma of raisins, and light tart grape. Taste is much the same with raisins, grapes grape and a light funk. Light carbonation.
re-rate: hazy red with an off white head. Aromas are sour with pie cherries and red wine. Flavors are bing cherries, red wine barrel, leather and a persistent funk.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
On tap at Stone. Another beer I missed at the Sour fests. Amber color. Nice sour tartness. Lactic sour, little or no acetic acid. Kind of like a cherry tartness. Easy to drink. Delicious.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at stone. Pours a hazy orangish yellow, with white head. Nice aroma, sourness, bread, and tart apple. The flavor is not quite as good. Light fruit, sour apple, hints of cherry, grain, and a little wood. Not to complex or sour. Mediocre sour ale.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tap at Lucky Baldwin’s. Not done well for a Sour. Aroma starts off boring with no yeast or grass notes, only a watery, floury tart smell. Flavor’s top notes are thin, young, and tartly cherry; the immediate bottom notes are rusty, grainy malt and are unpleasant. No balance, no midbody. I love Craftsman but this is not their best.
