Dec 9, 2007 Pours a reddish copper with a very small head. Smells sour with a goodly amount of funk kicked in. The flavor is mildly sour and a bit too watery for my tastes, there were the oaky accents but they really didn’t grab my attention much. Finishes crisp and clean. Not bad but far from my favorite sour, it lacks the tartness I desire in this style.

Nov 23, 2007 2006 edition. This sour ale pours a deep red color from a 750ml bottle. Small sized white foamy head, with decent lacing. Aroma is fruity, tart, some oak and some funk. A medium bodied sour ale. The malts are fairly solid in this one, caramel and toffee and not that sweet. Nice cherry flavors. The hops are kind of earthy. The tartness and funk are solid, but kind of subdued, when compared to say Rodenbach Grand Cru or New Belgium La Foille. Probably making it ‘more drinkable’ to someone not familiar with this style. There is a lot of complexity going on here, soft and round mouthfeel. Seems a little under carbonated but that’s not that big a problem. Hides the 8% alcohol very well. Nice beer. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is tart and slightly funky.

Nov 5, 2007 Updated: Jun 8, 2009"Bonus" beer at FoBAB ’07. Finally get my lips around an Italian beer by artisans, not Heineken wannabes. A brown color streaked with red (Thanks, FoBAB, for a solid glass taster!) A warm tart beer smell with a nudge of wine grapes. Flavorful and lightly sour. Just a bit of Jolly Rancher, cider, Belgian malts, and oaken mellowness. Buona!
