| 0.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 1/10 | 1/5 | 1/10 | 1/5 | 1/20 | Oct 28, 2009 I drank this from a bottle into a chalice.
It pours a piss pour brown with a piss pour head that doesn’t rise half a finger and is gone even quicker. The lacing is watery.
The aroma is weak and unpleasing. It has sour hop smell.
The taste is horrible!!!

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 26, 2009 Bottle shared by nimbleprop: Pours a transparent dark copper amber with a thin coating of spotty-lacing off-white head. Aroma of fresh toasty caramel malts with a touch of light fruity tartness and some mild oak. Starts with a light sugary malty sweetness and a touch of spritzy carbonation and a hint of light fruity tartness and cookie dough before a semi-dry earthy finish. Not much of a sour, but still drinkable. glennmastrange (857), hobe sound, Florida, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 25, 2009 Bottle. Aromas of moderate straw for the malt, light herbs for the hops, faint mold for the yeast, with grape and wood in the background. Head is small, wispy, white with no lacing and is almost fully diminishing. Flavor is lightly sweet and sour and moderately acidic to start, then finishes moderately acidic, and lightly bitter and sour. Palate is on the lighter side of medium, watery with a soft carbonation and a lightly dry and astringent finish. I’m either acquiring a taste for Sour Ales or this is unique amongst the style. nimbleprop (847), SouthWest, Washington, Washington DC, USA
