On tap @ Hamy’s. This was one of my last beers of the night, my palate was a little wrecked. Poured a hazed burnt orange with virtually no head. Nose and flavor was Cabernet grapes with lots of oak and good sourness.

Clear Amber color with lacey froth. Subtle sour nose. Palate is on the weak side, but clean. Unfortunately, this is one of those beers that leaves me with pretty much nothing to say. The beer completely lacks inspiration word inducements...which sucks from a rating standpoint. I dig craftsman and Marc as a brewer, but this is on the boring side.

Hazy reddish-brown. Lightly tart, fruity but overall not much nose. Tart palate, some fresh yoghurty character. Hints of wood, big vinous notes and a late flourish of alcohol. Pleasant balsamic notes at the very end.

On Tap @ Hamilton’s tavern, South Paek, San Diego. Listed on the board as a lambic. Poured red-orange with no head. Slightly fuity aroma. flavor was dry and tart with a decent amount of cherry flavor. a few grape and wood nots too. fairly mild and easy drinking.

Cloudy, orange-brown. Lots of wood and wine, surprisingly low in the sourness department in both the aromas and the flavors which was a bit of a letdown but otherwise this brewer can do no wrong.
