Dec 19, 2008 Word to Andrew for bringing this back from Colorado. This is the most sour beer I have ever had. Lip puckering sour and not something you use to introduce people to sours. The aroma is slightly funky and musty but the flavor is where it gets you. There is a hint of red fruit in the back ground. Ultimately though this is all about the sour/bitter part of the palate. Very interesting, intense, and enjoyable.

Dec 19, 2008 Thanks to weearetombstone for sharing this 2005 bottle 05-3166. Been on my wants list for a while, thanks Mike. Pours a hazy brownish amber with a medium creamy off white head. Aroma was sourt, tart, acidic, cherries, vanilla, floral and oaky. Flavor was very acidic, tart cranberries, cherries, very intense, strips the tongue clean. This bottle was on.

Dec 12, 2008 Draft at Stone Bistro. Poured into a snifter. Dark brown hazy pour with a small head. Big, sour aroma. slight woodiness. Pop, big sour taste as well, my mouth felt like when a cartoon character has something sour and the face just completely inverts with puckering, but I like it.

Dec 3, 2008 Updated: Aug 7, 2009Pours very cloudy brown with a pretty tan head. The head disappears after a minute. Aroma is a little funky with some floral notes along with some cherries. Flavor is very good, a little bit of cherry flavor prevails through a thin roastedness and a beautiful sour tart flavor. This is slightly sweet but the sour certainly overwhelms this.
The first time tasting this a few years back was probably one of the biggest turning points in my love of beer.
