Oct 17, 2009 Bottle as shown. Pours a clear dark amber with a small frothy light tan that leaves decent spotty lacing along the glass. The aroma is a sour fruit with cherry and apple. Thin mouthfeel with a tarty fruit taste with cherry and sour apple. Easy to drink, very refreshing, an impressive sour ale from New Belgium. 700th Rating!

Oct 10, 2009 A friend offered this and urged me to considered sour beers again. I did, and regretted it. Oaky aroma, almost like a good cape pinotage. Brown with frothy head. Unbelieveably foul taste. Tastes like that vomit in your mouth when you have your first ride in a Puma before going into combat. Beastly finish.

Oct 9, 2009 (bottle - 22 oz) Dark brown pour with a fluffy tan head. Aroma is lots and lots of sour funk, earthy and barnyard notes, and a good amount of sour and tart apples. Flavor is incredibly sour. I’m talking lip puckeringly sour. Lots of wood and sour apple notes with a nice and smooth malt backbone. Finishes with a dry and very sour note. Loved it.

Oct 9, 2009 Dark brown pour that edges on ruby. Intense nose. Nail polish remover, wow that’s all I smell! Vinager and worcestershire sour. Wow incredibly sour taste. Has some other flavors that are trampled by the overt sourness. Has a chemical aftertaste. I know I should like this but I’m not feeling it. At all. I poured it.

Oct 8, 2009 Bottle courtesy of Cavie. Dark reddish brown pour. Smells like grapes, vomit, and paint thinner. Purple Atomic Warhead at about 25% strength. Puckered my asshole a little bit. Thick, sticky mouthfeel like a bad blush wine. I’m not gonna pour it. I’m not gonna pour it. I’m not gonna pour it. I’m not gonna pour it. I’m not gonna pour it. I’m not gonna pour it. I’m not gonna pour it. I’m not gonna pour it. I’m not gonna pour it. I’m not gonna pour it.

Oct 5, 2009 22oz bottle purchased earlier this summer down in Orange County. Dark red-brown with a medium beige head. The aroma has a lot of rich tobacco, with tart green apple, pear, and toasted oak as well. The flavor is firmly sour, but has a nice malt balance that provides an earthy chocolate flavor without being too sweet. Lemon and cherry come to mind when thinking of fruit tartness present. Medium thickness on the tongue with ample carbonation. Seems pretty similar to Rodenbach GC, which I should have figured I guess. Great beer with a nice complexity to the sourness.

Oct 4, 2009 Bomber. Aroma of alcohol similar to Southern Comfort, notes of sweet malts faint fruit. Flavor is obviously sour, enough to make you salivate and fein for more. Malt complexity tries to balance wild sourness. Whatever it does it works.
