| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Sep 2, 2008 2008 vintage- pours a muddy deep rust colour with a vigorous initial head with excellent lacing. Nose- sweet cherries, wood, green apples and tart citrus. Taste- extremely tart and mouth puckering. Cherry taste doesn’t overpower- well blended earthy malts, horseblanket, minerals, lemon rinds. Finish is very woody and dry. Drinkability is very good with medium to high carbonation. LooseCannon (927), Norfolk, Virginia, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 28, 2008 The bottle looks really good, the beer in the glass also. Much foam, but disappears fast. Starts modest sourish, becomes increasingly sourish in the end. Very scratchy. Nice experience! riversideAK (2664), Shoreline, Washington, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 12, 2008 Reddish brown pour with a nice head. Aroma is tart and citric with a touch of metallic funk. A touch of sweetness up front followed by a ton of tart fruit, oak, funky yeast, cherries, lemon, vinaigrette. FInishes tart and dry and I thought it was pretty quenching. Best beer these guys make without a doubt. This might be a tad overlooked even at a 4.03 because it does not carry the hype that all these new special release beers have, but I think this is fantastic. brokephibroke (140), Mead, Colorado, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Aug 10, 2008 Pours multiple hughs of red in the proper glass - from brick to cherry. Small white head. Aroma of sour cherry and Russian vodka and apple cider vinegar and subttle smoky oak. It’s sour, but I taste the rind of brie and cooked Traverse City sour cherries. I am glad I have access to this! jgentgesdo (564), Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA

Flavor of sour cherries, camembert, apple cider vinegar at the end. Slightly chalky aftertaste. Om nom nom soyorganic (217), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 1, 2008 2007 bottle: poured red/brownish with a small head. Aroma of apple cider and vinegar with a slight hint of caramel. Taste is similar, without the caramel, but with nice carbonation. This sour for me is very drinkable and refreshing. One of the more smoother sours, maybe since the bottle was a year old.
