Sep 3, 2008 Bottle shared at the CA-GA cultural beer exchange hosted by alexanderj. Deep burgandy hinted orange, with tan head. Aroma is sugary, light cherry skins, spices / yeast. Flavor is the same, yeasty / spicy aftertaste. The tart cherries are nice, but are mostly shadowed by the other flavors.

Sep 1, 2008 Bottle; pours a muddy, reddish cola brown with a large light brown head. Aroma of sour cherry, cola, bubblegum and yeast. The flavor got better to me after a few tastings. Enjoyed the after taste. Did not find it very sour or featuring enough cherry flavor (or flavor in general). Not quite as good as the Cuvee de Tomme to me.

Aug 24, 2008 750 ml bottle kindly shared by mreusch. Pours cloudy brown with a thin, creamy, beige head that laces nicely. The nose is a pleasant blend of sour, fruity, lightly woody and mildly vinous notes; nice. On the light side of medium-bodied, the mouthfeel is vinous and slick with an acidic, chest warming finish at the swallow. The flavor more-or-less follow the nose with a lightly dry and woody finish. This is a tasty beer. Thanks again for sharing it with us, Matt. :)
