3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cloudy brown color; poor head retention. The aroma has a lot of caraml with a touch of fruits. Medium body strength, caramel flavor, with some sweetness and a light sourness, making it refreshing. Good.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle.
Pours a murky brown; aroma has some brown sugar, some berries, and a powerful nose of beeswax. Flavor is a touch sour along with the sweetness; malt driven, cherry and apples. Neither dry enough to be refreshing, nor sour enough to be sour, but off-sweet enough not to really be dessert either. I’m left lukewarm.
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Strange, and possibly bad, but I could not tell for sure. Sourand sweet, but in a bad artificial way. Murky brown color, below average "sour" smell, and strange. Below average for this brewer.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
330. Pours deep murky brown with a thick, fizzy white head that falls quickly away to a slim rim of foam. Enormous sour funky nose, almost unbearable. Thick body, but not oily or sticky. Fizzy. Sour-forward attack. Figs, raisins, honey, caramel, and humongous lemony sour funk all over the place on the mid palate. Tangy pucker of a finish. Not a whole lot of fun, but maybe the sour freaks will feel differently.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Dark Brown with Orange Hues...Quickly Fading Off White Head. Dark Bread and Raisin Aroma. Some Subtle Citrus as Well. Very Carbonated...A Fair Amount of Sourness Pops Up on the Tongue..Whether That was Intentional or Not.. Dry Rich Bread Dough, Citrus, Light Spices...Smooth Enough for 8%. Dry Soured Aftertaste. An Odd Brew, but Interesting Mix of Flavors.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle sampled. Pours orange/brown with a decent size khaki colored head. Aroma of fruit, citrus, yeast, and spices. The flavor is citrus, fruit, spices, and the alcohol is present. Decent brew.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
This has a cloudy chestnut body with a sustained ecru head... oddly, no lacing whatsoever. It’s got an aroma of sour cherries, dark brown sugar, vinegar, a hint of green raisins, and a mild floral/herbal bitterness. This gets quite tart, nearly sour as you drink it. I realize there are no cherries in it, but the flavor is reminiscent of those that I ate from the Cherry tree that I damned near lived in over forty years ago. That feeling is probably why I’m inclined to rate this higher than the others. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Lakeview Liquors, Chicago, IL<font size=-1>
