2.6 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle: Not a big fan of sour ales. This one seems unbalanced, starts off ’foul’ then looses all power. Food Pairing: Strawberries.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours deep mahogany, full head that lingers for a minute or so. Nose is black cherries, some funk, rich caramel. Medium body, surprisingly sweet right off the bat, with a mild and tart fruity finish. Really light tasting, refreshing, good carbonation. After 6 Petrus beers recently I’m starting to finally notice that brewer’s note coming through, maybe the mineral content in their water? There’s a kind of metallic note in the finish that seems consistent with all of the beer. Anyways, this one is probably one of the ones I’ve enjoyed the most so far.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Hazy medium brown. Nutty malt aroma with a wild yeast note. Slightly sour on the palate, gives a pleasant edge to the maltiness. Medium body.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Decent head. Nice retention. Decent carbonation with bubbles that keep surrounding my glass. Aroma includes toffee and granny smith apples with a hint of cherries. Some metallic odor in the nose too. Taste starts off with some toffee and caramel but the carbonation and slight metallic flavor washes that away. Some cherry to finish off but not sour or even tart. Not as great as I remember. Hopefully just an off bottle.
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
11.2 fluid ounce bottle poured into a 2008 GABF tasting glass (yes, I didn’t break mine.) Smooth, medium bodied, really rather unassuming. Understated oak-aged toffee malt flavors with hints of sour cherry.
