Jul 28, 2007 Courtesy of Aspidites, big aromas of dried apricots and plums. Nice sour to tart hint and tickle on the tongue. I would love to put some of this aside and age for a few years.

Apr 15, 2007 On tap at the 10th Annual San Diego Strong Ale Festival: Pours a transparent copper amber with a thin, spotty-lacing white head. Aroma of some lightly sweet toasty caramel malt and tart, funky wild yeast with some cherry notes. Body starts somewhat full and mildly dark caramely sweet, balanced with a tart, fruity earthy yeasty character toward a slightly drier, complex oaky finish. A nice beer.

Feb 6, 2007 10th Annual SD Strong Ale Fest: Poured a clear deep golden brown color. Aroma of tart aged malt. Light brett and leather character. The flavor had some tartnesshitting up against a sweet malt base. Tannic bitter finish.

Feb 6, 2007 ha, i knew i’d had this beer and i finally found the rating the other night to enter it. here goes. enjoy. raisins, pears, peach, apricot, cherry and some dried pineapple kind of flavor. very interesting and complex. some of that weird funk that seems to grown on the RR beers. but definitely worth the time
