Jun 30, 2008 My first sour beer. Pours a beautiful amber brown with a thin off white head. Aroma of vinegar and oak with earthy notes. Flavor is very sour and complex, mainly of sour apples and oak with earthy notes here and there. Med. to big bodied, lively carbonation, and smooth dry texture and mouthfeel round out this wonderfull intro to sours. Not my style of brew and probably will never be, but this is a damn fine beer that will have me drinking sours now and then to tempt and tease the palate.

Jun 22, 2008 [Bottle] shared by STLWill. Pours a chalky caramel color with a small off white head. Aroma is brett, vinegar, sour apple and a little oak. One of the sourest beer I’ve had. Also in there is some oak, tobacco, and some other earthy flavors. Very dry and very much a palate wrecker, and also very very good.

Very nice aroma of sour fruit, some funkyness and spices. Flavour: Oh yeah, that’s sour! Tart fruit, funky yeast, some spices and wood all backed by sweet malt. Well carbonated.

An easy to drink, well made, delightful Sour Ale -- fantastic stuff.

Jun 9, 2008 Let me start off by saying a HUGE Thanks to Styles. He sent me this awsome beer and I have to say that it is my favorite beer thus far. I told Chris that I am becoming more and more interested in sours and this beer was absolutely wonderful. It poured a nice brown body with a huge vinergery smell. The sour fruits (apples and cherries) came through with a hint of fig. The taste was so complex. Huge sour and malt. The sourness became ever more dominant as it warmed. Lacing stuck to the glass lick glue. This was pefect on that hot memorial day.

Jun 1, 2008 Much thanks to Eclectic for this bottle. Pours out a very attractive mahogany color with a small off white head. Interesting funky, sour earthy and some tart/sweet fruits in here too. Taste is very tart off the bat, sour fruity notes, some earthy/ funky earth flavors going on also, refreshing and very intriguing. Much thanks.
