3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20Bottle pours copper tinted brown with a small creme head. Smell is hearty raspberries, seedy fruit, sour oak and some cherry. Taste is soft, malty raspberries with lots of tart and sour notes that come to a drying end. Drinks very easily and isn’t too acidic or harsh. Hoping it stays that way over time!

Aroma is ripe berries and lemony zing. Flavor is intensely tart and very reminiscent of balsamic vinegar. Fruits are on the back end but need to be a little more forward to balance out the acetic nature of this one.. Good but man its tart.

Staff bottle. Pours a reddish/purple/brown color with a small off white head. The aroma is raspberry forward with a strong tart character, lacto, woody with some mildly sweet caramel in the background. The flavor is much of the same; big tart raspberry, lacto, wood, caramel, all blending nicely together. Strongly tart, but very drinkable. I had this from one of the barrels a couple years ago and this has come along quite nicely.

Skyview Tasting, Feb. 23, 2013. A good sour fruit beer. Flavor has sour balsamic vinegar and raspberry. Green tea in the aroma with yeast, and a solid malt base, with sweet and sour flavors that go well together.

Sour sour sour. Lots going on in here, fun to sip, but this is pretty extreme. Thanks Doug and Bob for sharing! This was very cool to try!

Bottle - thanks Doug! Murky dirty orange pour with a small head. Leather, tobacco, sour fruit - this is quite complex. Delicious! Bottle is stamped with "staff only" - Doug traded a copy of his book for this with the brewer!

Bottle @ Matt’s house, courtesy of a Midwest friend. Pours a clear reddish brown appearance with a thin, light brown head. Vinous, richly tart raspberry, tangy, light lacto, juicy fruity aroma. Big juicy raspberry, oaky, quite funky, super easy drinking, moderately sour flavor. Really a nice beer.

Pour out of 750 mL bottle, thanks Aaron! Dark reddish brown pour with thin white head, aroma brought notes of nice raspberry, dark berry, chocolate, nice sour fruits as well. Taste is a nice mix of sour fruits, dark fruit, raspberry, vanilla, lemon, hints of oak, finishing sweet, very sour. Nicely done.
