3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tap @ Ginger Man with Christian, Jared and Rachel. Purple pour with red hue and big off-white head. Smells tart and fruity, tastes of dark berries and sour grapes. Vinegar notes, more so than the Duchesse de Bourgogne. Pretty tasty, not sour enough for me though.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: NOV 20, 2011 Bottle pours murky dark reddish brown with billowy tan head. Aroma of cherries, funk, oak, some kind of aromatic ester I can’t place. Very sour up front with quite a bit of sweetness. Body is somewhat more acidic than I care for. Overall a fine beer.
Have to take this down a bit. The second bottle I had tasted very strongly of vinegar. Couldn’t drink a full glass.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
750ml bottle from Pinch poured into a snifter. Pours an opaque nut brown with about a finger of deep tan head. Aroma is quite sour. Green apples, grapes, dry red wine and tart cherries. Taste is medium sour. Mostly green apples with a bit of dark cherry. Medium bodied with a sticky texture. Very lively carbonation and a long sour finish. Overall, not too bad. Not what I was expecting (I found it on a discount table for 4 bucks) but not too bad. I probably won’t drink it again but I’ll definitely enjoy this bottle.

330ml. Looks solid in the glasswith a dark brown colour and thick broan foam. True to the style it carries a strong trat vinegar aroma that certainly is not unpleasant. Mouth puckering and face curling initial taste but the flavour grows on you. Certainly one to sit on.

deep cola brown with thin, fading, tan head. Aroma is tart cherry. Flavor is lightly sweet, cider, vinegar, berry. Yummy and more drinkable than I remember it!
