Apr 5, 2009 750 ml bottle courtesy of a trade with beastiefan2k and shared with my wife. Pours a dark brown with hues of deep purple and red. Moderate tan head that lasted through the first third of the glass. Very pleasant aroma of tart apples and sour cherry along with some oak. The flavor is very lovely with again tart apples and sour cherry along with very good red wine vinegar and some oak. There is just a hint of caramel sweetness well hidden in the background that surfaces every now and again. Bright and dry towards the finish. A thoroughly enjoyable beer from start to finish.

Apr 4, 2009 Have enjoyed on several occasions but this is the first time i have had it on tap- Maproom. I love this beer. Color is deep ruby red, slighty cloudy. Just a classic sour ale aroma-sour cherries, musty, vinegar, happiness. The first sip is very sour - like carbonated vinegar; i love it. Slight burning flavor lingers for a second then finishes raspberries, wood, pepper. Little bit of sweetness in finish too. Great beer.

Apr 3, 2009 On tap @ 1702 - Pours a brown color with a thin light tan head. Flavor and aroma is sour fruit. I don’t know what else to say. I have a bottle (courtesy of FlacoAlto) I will drink it and re-rate it later when I can learn to appreciate sours. For now, I will call it as I taste it. Nasty. However, I will give it a decent score so I won’t upset the La Folie Fan Boys.

Apr 2, 2009 On cask for Firkin Fest at the Happy Gnome in St. Paul 09. Wow. Complex, amazing, and surprisingly drinkable. Due to me having many tickets for beers, I must have had at least 7 samples of this one. The sourness is strong but well blended with the light toasted malt and oak. I’m a fan. Big fan.

Mar 28, 2009 Thanks to Chris for bringing this bottle. Pours a deep clear brown with a little head. Big sour cherry, oak aroma with hints of malt. Tart sour cherry, acidic vinegar, oak taste. Very dry and sour, yet nicely balanced. Awesome.

Mar 27, 2009 On tap at the Draughthouse in Austin. Dark amber with a light tan head, no lacing. Aroma is nicely funky, sour, and a little sweet, with a little bit of sour cherries in there. Quite tart, with a tiny bit of malty sweetness hiding in the background. The beer is well carbonated, which complements and enhances the sourness. A very dry finish. Overall, very nice. Glad this one came to Texas.
