PorterPounder (3132), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Apr 19, 2009 Orlando, Fl. - Knightly Spirits, 750 ml bottle. Pours a murky orangeish-purplish with a soft, silky white head. Full bodied sour aroma with hints of sour cherries and vinegar. Solid sour flavor with sour cherries. Very enjoyable. Still trying to find the words to describe a sour beer - but the words escape me - I’ll let the numbers do the talking. Tangy, full-bodied mouthfeel. Well done. punkrkr27 (608), Berkley, Michigan, USA Apr 14, 2009 2005 bottle. Deep ruby pour with about 2 fingers worth of fizzy, short lived, off-white head. Aroma’s of brett, tart cherry, oak, damp leaves, and brandy waft from the glass. Super tart and acidic flavor. There’s more tart berries, oak, red wine vinegar, brett, tobacco, and grapes. Dry medium body with lots of prickly carbonation. agl108 (503), Manayunk, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 13, 2009 750 mL bottle courtesy of lamas. Bottled in 2006. Poured deep amber. Absolutely zero head and zero carbonation, I’ve got to believe there’s something wrong with this bottle. Flavor is sweet and tart with cherry and raspberries the most predominant on the tongue. Wine-like. Without the carbonation, I’d compare it to a shiraaz. Disappointing, but I’d definitely give it another shot. SudsMcDuff (1691), was CapeTown,SA-now Houston, Texas, USA Apr 13, 2009 2005 i think or maybe 2006: pours a dark red brown color with lox carbonation, low head .. . abv is very mellowed out .. . chocolate and raspberry notes, with slight vinegar and wood .. . a nice dirty italian brew from dirty italy .. . JohnnyJ (1283), Carlsbad, California, USA Apr 4, 2009 Pours a dark red/brown color. Sour fruit, cherries, oak. It’s good, but just doesn’t stand out to much.
