Bottle. Pours a pale amber color with a small off-white head. Has a fruity sour tart aroma. Fruity sour tart berry flavor. Has a fruity sour tart woody berry finish.

A- pours a hazy amber copper with thin off-white head that disappears quickly and virtually no lacing. S- musty and sour with hints of canned thanksgiving cranberries, strawberry bon-bons, lemon heads, vinyl, oak, funk and light floral. Faint honey. M- great carbonation and acidic with a dry light to medium body and medium palate. T- flavor starts with tart strawberries, funk, oak and moves to generic bandaid, cheese and some horse barn. The end has an abrasive sour lemon and kalamata olive kick that fades once again into a tart strawberry. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

A - Hazy red-orange with a finger of frothy slightly off-white head. Fades fairly quickly. S - Caramel malts, strawberries and other berries, oak, red wine, vanilla, Brett and other funky yeasts, some sourness. T - Sweet caramel malts, lots of tart strawberries and other berries, oak, red wine, brett and other funky yeasts, lactic acid, vanilla, some sourness. M - Medium bodied, moderate carbonation. Smooth with a tart, funky, and sweet finish. D - Super tart, but nice and complex and still has some balance.

750mL courtesy of Shane. Thanks! A: Off-brown with a dark creme head. Doesn’t leave appreciable heads, and it’s not an attractive beer. N: Strawberries, funk, acetone, and some diacetyl. Has some cheese flavors and a slight nutiness. Some glues smell is a turn off. Grapefruit and apricot round it out. T: Funk, oak, strawberries, bleu cheese. Bracingly sour with a high amount of horse blanket and dry leather. Oak, and more of the glue taste. Grapefruit and oak. M: Lively carbonation, light body. Normal range for Bruery led sours. O: Complex but it never comes together in an appropriate way. Not really worth the 18 dollars. But then again, I don’t know why breweries insist on trying to create strawberry sours. They don’t seem to work very often.

Bottle from RS membership. Aroma was of strawberries and Brett. Flavor had some used bandaid and vinyl in there...not the best. Threw down some strong cheese (aged white cheddar) to alleviate the vinyl, and the sour aspects held up excellently. Pair this one; don't drink it standalone. The strawberries are clearly modified by the barrel-aging. Good beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

A hazed reddish amber ale with a thin light mocha head. In aroma, strange grassy and fruity malt with veggies, bad breath, talcum and acidic notes, In mouth, nice raspberry mash with acidic points, light spoiled notes. Shared with GRM, Pushkinwow, and Ian, March 8 2013.

Bottle from the brewery tasting room. Aroma is fresh strawberry sweet tarts. This is the first strawberry beer I have had that didn’t taste artificial. The berry flavor is super fresh. Super tart sour. I had a sample of this at the brewery and it was more mellow and complex.. The bottle is pretty raw. Like a strawberry Zots! No sweetness whatsoever.

We have many flavors of ice cream -

vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, and people.

What was that last one?

..Strawberry

Bottle from my trip to Provisions. Shared with Vincent and others. Poured a murky reddish amber with no head. Nose of a horse’s asshole and strawberries. Strong dung aroma. Taste much better. Some lactic and barn notes up front, very tart with the strawberries coming through much more. Interesting beer, terrible nose. Rating should be higher but the aroma is tough.
