May 26, 2008 Dull chestnut colour. Fun nose mixing dark fruits. Quite funky. Very tart. Kind of acetic and woody. So dark fruitiness. Interesting.

Pours lightly clear dark maroon with a short lived head. Smell is sour cheese and feet. Taste is equally as odd with sourness, funky, musty dirty cheese and a foot like flavor. Sweet cheese comes in as well. Unlike any Sour Ale I’ve had before, and I’m glad I didn’t have the entire bottle to myself. Very odd beer.

Jun 8, 2008 Handbottle from brewandbbq. Pours a hazy reddish-copper color. A small, foamy, cream colored head leaves random micro-spots of lacing behind. Aromas include sour red cherries, vinous red grapes, a touch of muscat sweetness, and some red wine vinegar. The nose really opened up and became softer and less acetic as it warmed. Likewise, the flavor starts with intensely tart red cherries and grapes, with a semi-obtrusive vinegar note present throughout. As it warmed, the vinegar faded, leaving a clean, refreshingly tart, vinous flavor behind. Medium-bodied and very dry, with moderate carbonation, I found the brew to be incredibly drinkable. Very interesting, for sure. I enjoyed this quite a bit despite the vinegar notes that showed early on.
