Jul 23, 2009 Stone Sour Fest, San Diego 2009.
Clear brownish amber color. Aroma is dark cherries, kriek sourness. The body has a medium level of tartness with not much of additional sour.

Jul 23, 2009 Poured from bottle at Stone Sour Fest 2009 (San Diego). Pours a dark iced tea color with brown and dark orange tones. Aroma is weak and on the funky side. The initial taste is a very sharp tartness (and I tried ten different sour ales at the festival). However, I was surprised to find that it was still very drinkable. Some light funk and light citrus in the flavor as well. The finish is grainy and only lightly tart considering how sour the initial taste is. Body is very light.

Jul 18, 2009 Freaking Frog Nov 2008... the night of nights... this beer, Carolus Ambrio on tap, Ardbeg Uigeadail, competition grade Sake and then more beer...
I think this ran me 20$ but I gotta say it was well worth it. This choice was a shot in the dark, really cause I had no idea what it was or even what style it was. The arrival of a 750ml bottle was not expected but very welcome. Deep brown beer awaits me and the first hint of aroma was amazing. Aromas of oak, wine, horsey barnyard stuff, over sour cherry, dark fruits, earth. Man, the aroma is just freaking killer. Peat, oak and very sour hits the taste buds first followed by a very woody and vinous dark middle, dark fruits and vanilla. I wrote down "This is great! Best sour ever!" That very well might be true. Medium sour after taste, leaves my mouth happy with the absence of alcohol.

Jul 11, 2009 2007 -- for a sour ale, this beer provides robust aroma ranging from barolo wine to haystack. Other aromas include dark ripe fruit and an oaky wood. Sharp fruit on the aroma, sour and woodsy. A little astringent. Long finish of ripe sour cherries.

Jul 7, 2009 750ml bottle. Pours a mahogany color with a off white largeish head. Nose is sour grapes, apples, and acidity. Flavor follows on most of these. Sour apple seems to dominate but a vinuous grape sourness kicks in towards the end. Quite acidic but not overly sour. Strong mouthfeel but not as big as I expected for 8%. Alcohol is nonexistant. Really amazing. Hard to see how any sour fan could dislike this one. Another quality beer from the Italians.

Jul 4, 2009 Updated: Jul 6, 2009Pours a ruddy brown with a soapy off-white head. Weak aroma sour cherries, malt and vinegar. Flavor is sour cherries, red wine vinegar, and lactic sourness. Flavor seems a little watered down. Not my favorite sour, but nice.

Jul 4, 2009 Medium brown pour with a thin off-white head and a nice bit of lacing. Aroma is funk, cherries, raisins, dark fruit, and a little banana (sour banana? Sure, why not.)
Flavor is similar to aroma but is disappointingly thin and a little watery. Still a nice tasty sour beer.

Jul 2, 2009 Bottle shared at Stateline by robert.. Thanks! Bottle 515. Dark in color, small head that faded quickly. Decent aroma of sour cherries and grapes... Taste was a shitty sourness... Really weak compared to all the beers earlier.... not watery just weak or light in texture. My least favorite of the night... Italians shoud stick to cars and food.... not sour beers
