On tap at The Bruery's new tasting room. This was the aged one from 2009. Consecration's got some competition from the south. Garnet color with champagne-esque fizz, fatastic tart flavor with lots of vinegar to it. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Reddish pour. Off white head. Aroma is loaded with cherries, wood, vinegar, berries, cheese and more. Flavor is fruity and tart but not crazy sour. Cherries, red wine, vinegar, oak. This is a great example of the style. Delicious.

Dark brown, slightly reddish color and pours with a thick tan head. A thin layer of foam remains on top until the last drop. The aroma shows fresh cherries, funky oak, wild berries and plums. Very enjoyable brew. Crisp and refreshing while still packing a nice sour punch. Not intense at all or massively tart but very well balanced. A tasty mix of flavors; grapes, green apple, oak, cherry, a bit of funk, mild vinegar. Great stuff. Love the drinkability. I really didn’t think it was going to be this good.

I finally got to try this. It is worthy of it’s awards. There are tart, sour and vinegar like. This one is big on the vinegar. You can really taste the wine and the barrel. Very earthy and woody. Tastes young and sharp.

Right off the bat, there’s an awesome combination of both tart cherry and sweet and spicy black cherry. This is followed by a lot of the stuff mentioned above. Leather, green apple, vinegar, and oak are joined by tart red grape, spices, tangy berry, and bitter citrus. Floating underneath all of this is a layer of sweetness that binds and compliments everything happening here

On tap at pangaea. For beer week. Aroma is of sourNess! So sour. Flavor is even more sour! The hints of red wine are there in the finish. Very good sour.

Hazy reddish brown with lasting head and lace. Very woody sour cherry farmhouse funk aroma. Tart quite woody sweet and sour cherry funky farmhouse woody very dry and clean finish. Nice effervescent tiny bubbles. One of the best surprise I’ve had in a while. Completely excellent. Ranks with the best Flanders Reds.

750 mL bottle courtesy of Bankhead on 6/13/10. Thanks! Pours a hazy rust color with a medium sized head and lots of visible carbonation. Good head retention and lacing. Very nice aroma with tart fruity notes including grapes and cherries, caramel, vanilla, oak and earthy notes. The taste is tart almost vinegar like notes, dry red grapes, berries, melon, earthy almost vegetal notes, a bit of oak with a very faint tinge of vanilla. Well balanced and smooth. Medium bodied. Excellent beer.

Capped 750 from Beverages 4 Less in Santee, CA. Fred just gets this stuff. Amazing. Pours dark ruby with a beige/tan head. Aroma of heavy dark cherry. Med body. Flavor is sour oaky dark cherry. It is soft and lovely - tho a bit prickly. Excellent. Finishes darkly sour cherry.

Sampled on 2/26/2010. This sour ale pours a dark ruby color from a 750ml bottle. Medium to large sized white foamy head, with good retention and nice lacing. The aroma is fruity and floral, woody and tart. A medium bodied sour ale. The malts are fruity and sweet, tart and woody. Lively carbonation. Very tart, and the residual sugar is pretty low. Nicely balanced by the wood and oak. Hints of leather and must. Nice beer, glad I have 4 more bottles. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly tart.
