750ml bottle-pours a dissipating light tan head and hazy amber/brown color. Aroma is vinegar/tart fruit. Taste is vinegar/tart fruit-cherry, oak/grain, some medium malt. Not my style, but with cherry pie, nicer.

Bottle. High creamy and long lasting light brown head. Hazy orange red to brown body. Spicy fruity hoppy aroma with notes of alcohol. Complex flavor of mild fruits, rhybarb and cherries I think, and spices with low carbonation, fair amount of hops bitterness and a long bitter sweet aftertaste. Alcohol well hidden.

Pour is a murky brown with a average white head. Aroma is of red wine and vinegar with some tart cherry. Flavor is very tart with some red wine like qualities with a bit of cherry and other berry fruits. Finish leaves a wood smoke on the tounge but nothing over powering. I used to not care for sour ales but in the hands of the right brewer they can do amazing things.

Oozed upon opening. Red-amber color with a light, large-sized head, lots of lacing. Nose is acidic and slightly woody, berry fruit and caramel sweetness, dust, and coconut. The flavor is initially acidic and incredibly carbonated, but as it warms, sweet berries emerge to couple with dusty wood and strong yeast, cutting carbonation. Deliciously balanced and dry. Yum!
