3.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pour is a nice red-orange with light, fizzy head. Aroma of fermented fruit and wood-earthy flavors. Taste is sour and tart with some sweetness from the fruit. Overall easy to drink and smooth even with the sour notes.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a deep crystal clear reddish brown color with a good sized off white head that quickly dissipates to a ring on the top. Smells of light caramel and brown sugar with a cherry fruity tartness underneath. The flavor is mildly tart with a hint of funk, cherries and bits of lemons. There’s a solid base of sweet and brown sugar that provides a great balance. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a sweet tart lightly tongue piercing mouthfeel. This one leans a bit towards the sweet side of sour ale, but I think its a really well made beer, I enjoyed it.

Bottle. 2010 version. Pours a hazy murky orange brown color. Head dissipates rapidly. Light bodied. Initially light malt fades into sour cherries and vanilla bean. Just a little bit of fizzy funk. Trying to clear out some beers sitting in the cellar, this is a very pleasant surprise.

Bottle courtesy of Daknole. Poured in to a goblet. Deep ruby brown with a slighty off-white head that fades to nearly nothing. Aroma is a bit earthy, a bit juicy. hints of the tart and sweetness. Taste is vanilla and cherries. A slight bit of oak. Wow, i really like this. Reminiscent of the Wisconsin Red but a lot less of a cough medicine cherry.

2012bottle courtesy of Atom Thanks dude, its tough to give this a fair rate, as the nose is somewhat benign, it smells like a wild ale, hints of cherry and oak but there is that tart acidity that stings the nostrils. taste is what counts in my book and its awesome, the flavor of oak and cherry just melds so well, it tastes great.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Poured a clear copper color. The head was short, white, and reduced quickly to a thin ring. The dominant aroma was mulled apple cider, but there were also vanilla, cherry, brown sugar, oak, and red wine vinegar notes. Light to medium bodied and sweet with mild acidity. Spicy on the tongue. Fruit, oak and spice flavors akin to mulled apple cider.
