zach8270 (2051), Henrietta, New York, USA Nov 8, 2009 (bottle - corked & caged 750 ml) Deep red pour with a slightly pink head. Aroma is incredibly sour and tart with lots of cherry notes. Good and funky. Flavor is sour and earthy at the start. Lots of fruity acidic notes and a lot of sour funk. Finishes with a tart and tangy cherry aftertaste. Really nice and really sour. TearsforBeers (171), Ohio, USA Nov 1, 2009 Oh man this stuff looks like happiness in a glass! I wish I had the wherewithal to age some of these for decades. It’s deep red with white fizzy foam. The aroma is spritzy, fruitily acidic, a little bit of chalk, fresh. The flavor is lightly sweet, acidic yet calming, it’s like the Platonic form of what a cold tart cherry should taste like, the finish reminds me of cherry skins. There’s an undertone of horsey funk too. Mouthfeel is light and fizzy. This is delightful, just the beer I wanted today. daknole (2810), Plantation, Florida, USA Nov 1, 2009 Red pour.
