Pours copper. Nose is funk, cherries, brett, oak, grass, wine. Flavor is mild sour, earth, dirt, musk, wine and vinegar. Needs age. Lacks complexity.

Hopscotch! Cloudy amber pour. Tartness, wood, cherries in the aroma. Flavor has nice sourness with a good hint of the wood and booze. damn good.

Well, I start by saying that I am not going into this beer with high hopes. Pours a slightly hazy deep amber color with medium off white head. Aroma starts off with a slightly sweet funk, cherry yogurt, nice amount of woodiness, bourbon, vanilla. The aroma is really quite nice, somewhat reminds me of an Upland Lambic. Flavor is barrel forward, oak and vanilla, a tart note hits mid sip, mild fruitiness. The finish brings forward a slight hot alcohol/solvent note, but otherwise not too shabby. Soft carbonation, medium body. Not bad at all, definately will hold on to a couple to see how they age.

Bottle… October ‘09 O-Town Throwdown!… Hazy amber ale with a fluffy, mid-sized, off-white head. The aroma is earthy, woody and lightly acidic with a light bourbon note. Medium-bodied with fizzy carbonation. The flavor is tart, woody and moderately bitter with just a splash of sourmash whiskey. Crisp, tangy finish. Thanks to dmschefke for providing this rarity!

I guess this is under the right one, Blue Sunday 12, same label. NIce looking bottle. Picked this up in Michigan because it didn’t really show up in Chicago. Red pour with thick off white head. My allergies are pretty crappy right now, but I get a lot of barrel, cherry and vanilla in the nose. Flavor is salty wood, vinous notes, and tart cherry. It’s pretty earthy, and very nice to drink. Softly carbonated, but lively enough. Certainly not an overpowering sour, but a pretty cool tart beer.

Bottle: The aroma consists of oak, apples, light sour cherry, and vanilla. It pours a hazy dark brownish-orange with a small off-white that quickly fades to thin ring around the edges of the glass. The flavor starts with some light sour apple and cherry. The finish has moderate oak, vanilla, and an increased cherry sourness. Medium bodied with lively soft carbonation.

(bottle) Pours a lightly hazy amber body with a medium beige head. Aroma of leather, wood, cherry, apple cider vinegar, and herbal notes. Flavor of wood, earth, grass, and light sour cherries with a dry finish.
