Beardface (977), Eugene, Oregon, USA 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. timfoolery (482), California, USA 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. TwoDudes (77), Louisville, Kentucky, USA Jun 28, 2009 I loved this beer...nice malt backbone to balance the sourness....great beginner sour...I still prefer Rodenbach GC, but still fantastic.................................................................................................................... AtlAggie (131), Atlanta, Georgia, USA 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. elihapa (1033), Honolulu, California, USA 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. shawnm213 (880), South Bend, Indiana, USA Jun 21, 2009 drat at maproom. pours reddish brown with a nice beige head. Aroma is fruit, wood, tart cherries, sour aple. Flavor is tart cherries. Nice dry finnish. The beer is tart for sure, but very well balanced with some sweet malt undertones. Awesome beer. Very refreshing. Saarlander (1577), Saarlouis, Germany Jun 21, 2009 Bottled from trade, poured a nice reddish brown, little to no head, I loved the first sip, like a sweet vinager, I loved that, later the wood comes out, with earth, dark fruits, Very nice drinker, with a clean finish, great. jbye4334 (652), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Jun 17, 2009 (on tap at Trinity in Colorado Springs).
