Commercial Description:
Bottle: Filtered.
A blend of 1/3 young beer and 2/3 of beer aged 2 years in large oak vats. The more important proportion of oak matured beer contributes to its fruity taste, complexity and intensity. The finish is worthy of a great wine.

Draft at Flatbread, Awesome slight sour cherry aroma with a flavor to match. This is a well balanced sour ale.

pours a dark reddish brown with a thin tan head. smells of wood and cherries. The flavor is extremely sour and tart, hits you with a slight burn, i can’t really explain it, it’s kind of wild! Highly recommend!

On tap at Beachwood (a while ago) and also in a bottle found at a BevMo. Deliciously acute sour flavour. Interestingly fruity without really having a specific fruit flavour present. Complex and really indescribable.

750ml bottle Aroma- sweet, and sticky Appearance- Full rich and a dark Ruby red Flavor- Sour (beyond belief), cherry, citric, and very acidic. Palate- Soft round taste, followed by a sharp jolt of sourness. Overall- Amazingly good. The sourness is what gives it its amazing flavour, texture, and a good beer to start the evening off with.

Amber brown pour with a decent head. Sour fruit smell. Flavor is nice and big and granulated sugar like. Not bad and actually almost comforting like a dessert.

33cl bottle at home. darkest red brown, medium bubble sized, off-white head. very sweet nose with heavy lactic acid notes. Vanilla, cherries and heaps of sour. Almost wine-like. very complex, metal finish. not bad :-)

Bottle 33cl. Really nice red color with a mini head. Aroma is really fruity with cherry and oak. Taste is sour and lots of cherry and oak and plenty of acidity. Really good!

A reddish beer with a vaguely brown head. Aroma is fruity with cherry and port dominating. The flavour is PANG, straght forward fruity and sour with a very balanced funky flavour. Really good with loads of port character and a great aging potential.
