Jan 15, 2009 C&C 750, #07-3171. Clear copper red with a small tan head. Very woody nose, sweet but tart malt, black cherry notes. Flavor follows, and adds some light funk. SO drinkable, which is a quality more of this style could use. Excellent.

Jan 9, 2009 Draft at Jerry’s. Amber with good, creamy tan head / Sweet, malty, smokey nose / LIght to medium body, tart, with good finish / Sour flavors of dark cherries, apples, grapes, oak, and a touch of brett / Very good, not on a par with Jolly Pumpkin, though.

does not count  Jan 3, 2009 Bottle obtained from the local Safeway, of all places. Distinct "wine" aroma upon uncorking. Cloudy dark amber in color. Thin mouth feel with a distinct sour bite at first. Lots of fruit flavors. This would rock with a serious ploughman’s cheese board.

Jan 1, 2009 Bottle thanks to golubj in San Francisco. Color of copper with an off white head. Aroma of fruit, cherries, oak, with hints of earth and vinegar. Flavor was pretty solid, and probably my favorite of these three sours. Palate was perhaps better, for some reason. Has alot of lemon, oak and cherries in it.

Dec 28, 2008 Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy amber with a small off-white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of sour cherries, oak, spicy brett, vinegar, and some earthy notes. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium thin mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness and moderate to stong amount of acidity. Very good.

Dec 28, 2008 Courtesy of Juart. Pours a deep slightly hazy copper color with a fluffy white head. Aroma is a sour medicinal cherry. The flavor is a little earthy and it seems like it will start sweet, but the sour cuts through quickly. Very mineraly with some fruity funk. The body is thin and it is sort of strangely refreshing. Leaves a very sour flavor on the palate.

Dec 28, 2008 Bottle 3 years old enjoyed in 2008. Pours an amber beer with an off white head. Sour fruity esters, a light woodiness with a salty berry flavor. awesome beer with a light mouthwatering acidity.

Dec 25, 2008 Bottle was a gift from Hank and Mary for my 41st bday. The aroma is very woody, though not as much oak as I expected. Also smell sour apples, a bit of cherry, and yeast. Pours very carbonated with medium thickness and a thin, tan head. There is a little lace, but it diminishes quickly. It definitely hits the tongue sour. It is not as sour as other guezes that I have had. The taste has sour apples, vinegar, and the oak. I appreciate one other reviewers note that this the sour is not balanced by fruit but by malts. A very nice beer!
