Sampled at the Festival of Wood and Barrel Aged Beer at Goose Island, Nov.11, 2005. Dark reddish brown ale with a thin creamy lacing head. Sour cherries and vinegar abound, in an aphrodisiac way. In mouth, the graceful sour cherries go well with the vinegry, woody notes, and cinnamon like qualities coming out. My best of show.

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.

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!

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.

Jul 31, 2008 Bottle 75 cl. Sitting in the dark popping great beers. Thx mikkel and Jeppe.
This one was presented as brewed by a former brewer from the begian brewery Rodenbach.... and if you didnīt know you could assurdly have guessed it, because this one has many similarities with its european sour brothers from Roeselare.
The nose is buttery with strong notes of sour grapefruits. The appearence is nice and dark-golden with a light golden head. This sour-ale is for me to singular sour and i miss the complexity in its taste. Still there a hints of gooseberrys and fresh lemons and woodchips.
