29th July 2008. Reddish brown cloudy beer. Sour tartness but with a medicinal twist. Plenty of oaky dryness in the finish plus more medicinal spicyness. Slightly out there flavour but a nice beer.

Courtesy of Bov. Vinous. Hints of raisin in both nose and taste. Complex. Nice lacework. Dry finish. Not my style of sour ale. Still pretty pleasant. Thanks a lot Bov!

from crackedkettle.com - clear red-amber colour with a little foam left; aroma of sour apples and vinegar, dried cherries; tasty and lively palate, robust carbonation and a solid malt body; moderately dry and long fruity, decently hoppy finish; sourish

BATCH 4 2009.Pours a dark cloudy amber orange. Smells like sugar, citrus and cork. Very light on the palate with plenty of carbonation. Taste of green apples and citrus, very dry finish. Really good stuff.

Bottle. 25.4 oz. Pours hazy amber with a beige, creamy head. Aroma of apples, hops, malts, grapes, and hints of lemon. Full bodied with a smooth, tart mouthfeel. Long, slow finish. Excellent sour ale.

Bottle (in NZ) - thank you yalnikim. Pours a hazy brown with a filmy head. The nose is full of sour granny smith apples and caramel. A short sourness on the palate, red wine like tannins. Fruity - both citrus apple - with toffee. Dry all the way through. Challenging and enjoyable. Perfect for forgetting a tough marathon earlier in the day.

Bottle. Aroma has notes of sour fruity heaven with some oak, spice, caramel, and apples. Medium amber hue with a nice white head that mostly diminished. Flavor was awesome! Sour fruity notes that finished barnyard, dusty and dry. Palate is medium bodied and lively. Fantastic brew that blew me away. Can’t believe I hadn’t rated it before. Delicious!!
