Bottle. Pours a deep brown with red highlights and an offwhite head. The nose is strange, hop forward with noble hop note dominating initial. As this fades, a strong caramel malt sweetness lingers with a faint yogurt note. Pretty bland overall and too sweet. On tasting, the acidity is barely perceived, lending a soft tartness. Also a strong metallic note and caramel. Sweet finish. Really not very good.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Mahogany red body with thick off-white head. Nice caramel - sour apple aroma with a bit of funk. Sweet and tart lactobacillus flavor. Malt dominates, with a touch of cherries, rhubarb, brown sugar. The oak gives the beer a slightly astringent cardboard finish.

Poured a dark garnet color with a head that dissipated quite rapidly after an aggressive pour. Mostly opaque with some sediment floating about. Yum. Nice bright sour fruit, tart candy, and rubber in the nose. Very clean. Nice tart and spritzy feel on the tongue. Dark fruit and sour grapes dominate the taste, lingering pleasantly. A nice malty character asserts itself as it warms. Very good.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Deep copper pour, ok retention. Aroma is sour cherries, slight malt vinegar, some lactic funk, french oak. Taste is the same with plenty of sour cherries and oak. Body is light, thin, highly carbonated, bone dry tart cherry finish. Overall, not the best sour I’ve had by a long shot but highly drinkable.
