3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Pours a nice ruby-brown with a quickly thinning tan head. Aroma is tart fruit, mainly cherry and apple. Flavor is tart fruits (mainly cherry) mixed with some brown-sugary malt. A bit sweet for a sour ale, but also quite acidic, which cuts that nicely. Surprisingly refreshing on the whole.

Dark brown pour with tan head that thins over a few minutes. Color is like cherry wood. Fruit nose, sour cherries and green apples. I didn’t like the taste of this beer several years ago when I first tried it. Since then I have come to enjoy sour ales and this was a nice reunion for me. Mildy sour with sweet malt flavors and a palate that fades into a bread-like yeast. By no means my favorite, but I’m glad I returned for a second chance.

11.2 oz bottle with no date, nice dark brown with no head and no carbonation. Aromas of glue on leather and cinnamon. The taste is not nearly as sour as I expected. This tasted like a brown ale with the slightest bit of tartness. Interesting overall.

On tap at Novare Res. Whoa, didn’t expect a sour to taste this good to be honest! Pours a golden brown with an off white head. Aromas are dark malts, hints of sourness like apples, and some caramels. Flavor is crisp, clean, and sweet. The finish is a little sour, but not too sour as to be unpleasant.

Dark hazy brown with some red. tiny head. Malty notes of dark fruit, some sour berries, caramel, toffee, spices and little wood develops in mouth. Flavour is mainly sweet with some sour hint in finish. The malt is too dominating.

330 mL bottle. Pours red brown with a sizeable light tan head. Sour and sweet aromas of green apple, some dark fruit and caramel. Flavor is much weaker than the aroma, with some dark fruit, apple, and a bit of earthiness, but just not very much of anything there. Maybe even tastes a bit dusty, if that makes sense. Nothing offensive, but this is just disappointing in its lack of flavor.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Terrible sour. Pours a hazy brown amber color with a medium sized light tan bubbly head. Nose is meaty bread some brown sugar and a bit of tartness. Taste is like watery apple skins and yeast or unbaked biscuits. Totally blah and not worth drinking at all.
