Bottle from the Wilmington location. Pours a really clear rose with a thin white head, great lacing. A looker. Pretty wild nose with sour cherries, brett, some vinegar must, and a higher lactic sourness. Really soft in the mouth. Quite sour, cherries and strawberries. Vinegar touch is somewhat off-putting, but not nearly as bad as with the Lambic de Hill. Nicely done, but I just cannot get into the vinegar profile in this. Others may dig it more.

Nov 13, 2009 bottle. unfiltered and bottle conditioned, it pours cloudy grapefruit pink with very small white ring of a head, no retention. nose is heavily acetic (white vinegar) with milder cherry pit and wood notes. straightforward and nice enough on it’s own but doesn’t approach the complexity of belgian kriek simply because the yeast is nonexistent. approach is mild and on the sweet side. the flatness is surprising, while the acetic acid doesn’t hit you until late. cherry pits (medicinal) and wood (very dray, parched and tannic) consume the mouth, and the finish has a lingering sharp acetic character, again just like white vinegar. overall easy to like and enjoyable, not far from world class like belgian kriek, which is pretty much what you have to compare it against.

Oct 22, 2009 Bottle Pours out a hazy orange with red highs topped with a very small white head. Aroma was berries, cherry pie, vinegar, and a tartness. Taste much like the aroma but with some nice light oak and vanilla notes. A big thanks to Toby for this one.

Aug 31, 2009 2008 Bottle - Thanks Toby for pulling out one I’ve wanted to taste for a while!! Pours out ruddy orange with a small white head...aroma is tart pie cherries and light vinegar...flavour is similar, vinegar pucker, dry cherries, residual yeast provides a nice chalky balance to the pH...Buckeyeboy needed a spoon to finish the bottom 1/3 of the bottle...nicely done, can’t wait to try the others...
