GABF, 2012, Friday Evening. Simple and straightforward, this beer has a medium sweet malt flavor as well as some fruit flavor, combined with some flavor and aroma of balsamic vinegar which works very well in this beer. Good and sour, and surprisingly strong. Dry wood and yeast in the finish.

On tap at RealTail 2012. Pours a cloudy brown with a small frothy off white head that quickly diminishes to nothing. The aroma is oak, cherry, funk, and peat. Thin mouthfeel with a light tartness, vinegar, oak and nice sour finish. Wow really enjoyed this one. A very impressive sour from Real Ale.

Brownish amber brew with a bit of off-white head. Nose is complex and all over the place - cherries, oak, vinous, light smoke. Big cherry pie filling flavor - smooth and wonderfully tart.

Sample at GABF 10/11/2012, thanks to Bluemeow76 for assistance with note-taking. Brownish-amber color with a medium off-white head and spotty lacing. Aroma of malt and dark fruit. Full-bodied with flavors of earthy malt, cherries and yeast. The finish is peat malt up front with a tart cherry aftertaste. Above average overall.

Sampled at GABF. Nose is nice with the taste of wild. Cherry and caramel throughout. Different for a sour but well done.

On tap at Whole Foods Lakewood.
The beer pours a brown color with a large tan head. The aroma is full of big cherries, as well as some toffee and vinegar notes. The flavor is along the same line. I get some cherries and other dark fruit, as well as some leather, oak and toffee. As the beer warms I get some vanilla and maple notes, as well as some cocoa. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. The cherries really stand out and make this a delicious sour.
