It pours a bright red, with a dusting of off-white head. Very tart flavor, green apple, sour cherries, and a touch of funk. If you like sour beers... this is one to try. ajm (917), Los Angeles, California, USA

Dark ruby red with a creamy tan thick head. Aroma of tart and sweet cherries, dusty yeast and barrel. Near perfect flavor, tart and sour without being undrinkable, right on the edge, fantastic balance of barrel, cherries, and acid. The finish is really nice and nonabrasive. Medium body with fine carbonation. Fantastic! [On tap at MapRoom] Still fantastic and ever so quaffable! nhorween (639), Chicago, Illinois, USA

Oak, vinegar and cherry in the aroma. Rocky flavor, but smooth finish. Tannic. Enjoyable but the astringency of the finish is intense. A more in your face Rodenbach.

Brownish auburn hazed hue, tiny offwhite head. A touch of funk in the nose, tart up front, deeper red wine characteristics with sour cherries and oak making some prominent displays within. Finishes tart and dry, reminiscent of the oak. Sour on the whole. Very very nice. trokini (1027), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 20, 2008 Pours brownish-red with a pinkish head. Aroma of cherry cobbler and wood. Taste is super-sour cherries, which is accentuated by the carbonation. The sweetness of the brown ale base comes through in the end, cleaning the palate before the next sip unleashes on your tongue. The oak appears towards the end of the glass as the beer warms. Very nice.
