Jun 29, 2009 On tap at BIer Stein. Deep reddish brown, more red when held to the light. Light head and lacing. Aroma was full of cherries, vinous notes, light oak and some vinegar. Flavor was heavily full of cherries with a minor bit of oak and some light vinous notes. Very smooth and easy to drink and quite tasty.

Jun 28, 2009 On tap at The Bier Stein. First off, this is a great place to get beer. Second, the brew smelled of sour cherries and was very clean in palate. Excellent taste.

Jun 24, 2009 On tap at the Brick Store. Murky read appearance, not much head with my pour. Aroma is funky, dark cherries, tart and sour. Flavor is refreshingly sour, but not overwhelmingly so--dark cherries, some tartness, and an underlying wood/earthy tone, almost tasting of dirt. Very light bitter on the finish. For my tastes could have been a bit more sour and a bit drier, but nice nonetheless.

Jun 24, 2009 6/1/09 notes: new batch and bottling, poured from bottle at Bruisin Ales in Asheville. Pours dark red with a smoldering cream-colored head. Aroma is rich of cherry, wood, vinegar, and rhubarb. Flavors starts with dark cherry fruit, then negotiate terrain that includes orange peel, apple cider vinegar, mellow vanilla-oak, and a whole bunch more. The tartness on the finish is so mellow and inviting that you almost forget how radically different this beer is. Palate is smooth and softly effervescent throughout. What a privilege to have tried this.
