Bottle 75cl - Aroma is really sour with som fruity notes. Flavor is sour with som earthy notes and with a dry and tart finish. Thought this one wasn’t as good as I expected.

Jan 30, 2008 A Mes rate: Bottle at HogTownHarry Fest ’08
Cloudy mid brown with a good off white head and plenty of lace. Adorable sandalwood aroma with slight sour notes. Doesn’t smell like beer really but it’s certainly gorgeous. Flavour is very similar but just not quite so good. Lovely fruity notes and a pleasing dryness and more strong sandalwood. Just not enough character or sourness compared to the aroma.

Jan 2, 2008 Bottle (375ml) shared with HogTownHarry, tupalev & GregClow -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a hazy copper-brown with lots of floaties and a spare diminishing tan head. Mild aroma with a light tartness, malt, yeast, burnt sugar and alcohol. Flavour’s also mild, not much flavour there. There’s light tart fruit, lightly toasted sweet malt and some alcohol in the finish. Medium bodied. Nothing bad about this, it’s just pretty dull, I wouldn’t bother buying it.

Dec 20, 2007 Leftovers of Harry’s bottle. Rusty brown, small white head. Mild malt aroma. Good taste - malty brown ale, some really nice sweetness, some spices, and a hint of tartness. Alcohol creeps in at then end. I love the sour as a world class beer but on its own this is prettty good.

Dec 19, 2007 Bottle tolerated with HogTownHarry, blankboy & tupalev - HogTownHarry’s bottle. Hazy brown-red with some little floaties and a small head. Aroma is quite malty, a faint tartness, and a dry edge. Medium body. Flavour of mild, sweet malt with a bit of roast, and a quick, vaguely herbal finish. Simple stuff, not bad, but the soured version is so much better.
