Draft at beer bistro. Pours hazy red white head. Nose has pleasant raspberries, pears, and white grapes. Flavors tasty tart raspberries, musty grainy quality, good sharpness to it but it’s crisp, mellow, vinous, and very refreshing. My kind of sour, drinkable with low acid and lactic.

Decent 6oz pour at the beer bistro tap invasion... Pours a semi-reddish hazy hue, mostly transparent and more orangey in nature and topped with a thin circular ring of clean white head... Fruity aroma of gin and berry like scentuals with an odd type of peaty like finish towards the backend which throws things off a bit... Tart, tea, earth, and raspberries sentimentalities make way upfront. The peat isn’t as apparent to me in the flavor, thankfully . Sour and tart hold true throughout. Light to medium bodied with pretty lively carbonation. Something a tad bit more off in the nose but it’s still holds up overall.

Dfonorow (716) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - JUL 26, 2011
On tap at Rattle N Hum. Hazy red with little to no head when served. Aroma is of raspberry syrup with a lot of sour notes. Flavor is quite dry with some vinegar and yeast in the background. Mostly raspberries throughout the body with a dry earthy finish.

msojka (457) - New Jersey, USA - JUL 10, 2011
Pour is a light purple color almost but mostly red, with next to no head. Nose is almost like a sour but with cherry and raspberry hints. Taste is very much the same and very tart. Nice mouthfeel.

UPDATED: AUG 19, 2011 on tap @ RnH w/ Andy and James. Fruity, tart, sour - not a great descrition of a sour, but I’m going from memory. Non-existent head, minimal lacing. Great beer.

Pours to a glowing red orange body with a white head. The aroma is raspberries and rhubarb. The flavor is dry grassy hops, rhubarb, and raspberries with a lot of pale malts. Nice velvety body with a medium palate.
