Jul 2, 2008 Whew, this is sour, like biting into a sour apple. Georgeous color, dark ruby red. Nice white head. Very dry, and boy is it sour, wow! Still not a bad beer, gets better as it goes along.

Jun 30, 2008 Exceedingly sour but can be a delight if you:
1) let it warm a bit
2) let it sit in the glass a bit
3) take hearty quaffs
4) don’t swish it like wine, drink it down
If you letthis linger in your mouth it will just be too much like vinegar. But, if you just drink deep you’ll get a resounding sweetness up front, which is then quenchingly countered with the sourness and acidic wood, leaving a nice but not overwhelming pucker, setting you up for more.

Jun 29, 2008 75cl bottle from Jans Wine and Boos #2. Rated on 4/2/08. Pours a reddish-brown with a frothy tan/white head. Aroma is fruity with notes of oak, sour, ripe fruit, apple cider, malt. Flavor is very sour from start to finish with hints of sweetness, dill pickle, plum and just a faint subtle note of worcestershire. Seems like it would also be good for marinating.

Jun 28, 2008 Draught at the red. Something about this just looked perfect sitting in a tulip glass with a dark ruby body and small, creamy head. Tart, fruity, acetic aroma with some woodiness. The flavor has a biting acidity with some white wine character and fruitiness. What I loved was that the malts didn’t throw any conflicting flavors at the sourness; it just worked. Oily, medium body. This was really refreshing and surprising.

Jun 28, 2008 Tap at the Tiger. Preface this with me not really being a sour fan, yet. And that when I ordered it I didn’t l know it was a sour.This poured dark brown with a thin white head. The nose was a bit scary, vinegar, and dirty socks. Pretty sour flavor, nicely carbonated, and yes tart. A bunch of berry flavors popped out too. Nice dry finish. Slowly but surely my taste buds are maturing, lol.

Jun 23, 2008 Updated: Sep 20, 2009Bottle. Brownish red color.Beige head. Sour ales are really not my type but since I never tried it before I took a bottle. Fruity acidy taste. Rather complex. Not bad
