Feb 22, 2009 Maybe I don’t "get it", but this struck me as a chemistry experiment gone bad. Some fruity notes greet you upon opening. It was downhill from there. Cloying is used in many of the reviews, and I tend to agree, only not in a good way. Smith Brothers would have rejected this concept as the flavors just don’t meld together and compete with the high ABV. Couldn’t finish it, but it gets points for trying.

Jun 18, 2008 Interesting offering here. Pours cherry-amber into the glass, with a pinkish off-white fizzy, almost soda-like head, diminishing to the tiniest ring that leaves very tiny lace. The tart cider-like fruitiness shows up on the top of the palate, with small vinegar notes midway in the mouth, where the yeast predominates. The finish is much the same, with a touch of alcohol warmth to pepper the back-palate. This isn’t nearly as complex as the description might lead one to believe. I didn’t pick up on the "subtle bitterness" as commercially described, nor a lot of spice in the finish (although, to be truthful, it did get better as the brew warmed, but muddied by all the other vinegar, yeast and sours going on). I was a little disappointed with the mouthfeel, which was a weird cross between a weak soda, and not a lot of substance to the body. It’s a decent brew, just odd. I love the Dogfish Head brewery, but this just travels in too many directions to give a clear headway where the concentration lies.
