cmonster (897) - Portland, Oregon, USA - APR 8, 2013
Blend 01. Bottled 01-17-2013. Pours hazy dark amber with no head, just a thin film. Sour cherry, oak, pinot noir, earth, and spice. Developing all the time. Medium sour flavor. Light-med body, thin-sticky texture, decent carbonation, and a tart, fruity, dry finish.

Pours murky copper color with a large head. Aroma of sour fruits, grass, grapes, yeast and spices. Flavor is the same with some toffee and herbal notes. Sourness is nice but something is still missing.

maxwelldeux (2226) - Raleigh, North Carolina, USA - MAR 22, 2013
Bottle. Pours a clear brown color with a smallish white head. Nose is definitely fruity, with some strong sourness to it. Taste isn’t quite as sour as the nose would suggest. Feels remarkably light, though. A good sour.

Vells (257) - LATVIA - MAR 13, 2013
Hazy amber with medium off white head. Bit lacing Aroma.. Fruity with notes of vanilla, bit acidic, Caramel malt. some additional spices. Kinda yeasty, some herbal notes. Bit sweet to overtaking sour with bit bitter finish. Dominating sourness, I guess as it should be, thou I am not fan of sour, this one was decent

Atheist_Peace (705) - Halifax, Nova Scotia, CANADA - MAR 7, 2013
Pours a hazy red colour with a short tan head. Lots of wood on the nose with scotch and red fruit. A lot of funky cherry notes. Really funky and sour on the palate with a lot of red fruit and wood. The finish is a little quick but otherwise this is superb.
