I’m a sucker for a good sour ale, and I enjoyed this one. Not overpowering, but well balanced and clean.

Pours a nice brown with a small off white head. Aroma of fruits, wood, malt, sourness. Flavor is sour fruits, with a sweetness to balance it out. Pretty decent brew.

First sip of sour and then the sourness becomes quaffable to a degree that I found surprising.

11.2oz bottle. Pours a dark, slightly oily cherry-cola color; light tan head with patchy retention and lacing. Mildly tart and overripe red fruits (strawberries, cherries), honey, apples, and cereal in the aroma; not a ton of tartness or depth, but reasonably clear nose. Relaxed carbonation. Medium mouthfeel: slight acidity, very mildly tart (cherries, watery strawberries); some oak toastiness and honey are present as well, but this is definitely lacking some depth, and any initial tartness and citric jolt at the front soon dissipates after the first few sips; pleasant, just not an exceptional example, and a very pronounced cereal note that isn’t quite what I’m looking for in a sour ale. Medium finish: lots of candy sugar, honey, and some red fruit maltiness.

Bottle and tap. Odd to me this doesn’t taste more like wood after a supposed 20 months. Fairly non-impressive on most accounts, thin and wishing for more.

Appearance: Dark, redish brown. Quite a lot of head. Aroma: Dark fruits. Taste: Pretty fruity, dry, though sweet... Some sourness. Info: 330ml bottle, 11/3-2007, 158/500
