| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jun 15, 2009 25.4 oz bottle, exp date: Dec 2007. Dark purple brown with a coating of beige bubbles. Nose is cider and balsamic vinegar with hints of oak. Lightly sparkling with an almost syrupy mouthfeel. Taste is cherry, toffee, raspberry and honey. Sweetness is countered slightly with some sour strawberry and dry wood. Could easily be mistaken for a fruit beer; light, drinkable, barely tart. gracefullypunk (298), Washington, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 14, 2009 one of my favorites; it exemplifies a sour. Crisp, with a tart cherry and apple flavor, everything in this beer works in balance. Delicious sharp sour apple aromas. Savvy1982 (303), Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 13, 2009 Bottle. Pours a lovely dark red/brown, with a brief foamy head that quickly reduces to naught. Nose is big and moderately sour, with cherries, chocolate, a bit of barnyard and leather, and a lovely concord grape aroma as it warms. Palate is sweet, sharp, tangy, and sour, with apples, Welch’s grape jelly, cherries, and funk. Not the most assertive sour I’ve ever had, but a lovely beer. Cole (282), , Alberta, Canada
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 13, 2009 DRunk from goblet. Pours deep red with a thin head. Aroma is sour and fruity. Strong apple flavour, rich and sweet. Very sour tasting. A very interesting brew. I have never had anything like it before. It reminds me a bit of a port. Nightfall (647), Athens, Greece
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 10, 2009 Updated: Jul 9, 200925 cl Bottle. Sour ales have not been my thing so far (but I only tried a limited amount of them). THis is the first I really liked. The brownish-burgundy red color with the small off white head is fantastic. Very vinuous aroma, sharp and you can expect some decent sourness. The flavor is nice, complex and very refreshing. I can imagine drinking this every now and then (even though I have to order it from eshops). fiver29 (713), Cleveland, Ohio, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 10, 2009 On tap at the Brew Kettle. Pour looks dark brown. When I hold it up to the light its a very dark red. White head. Aroma is oak, tart cherry, and some caramel sweetness. Has a light mouthfeel. Flavor follows the nose and has a sublte sour character. Probably a little too underdone IMO. Still a descent brew. danielcurtis81 (883), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 10, 2009 Tap. Pours a deep red toned brown. Earthy tones with touch of cherry, wood, tasty malts, brown sugar, hints of caramel. Well carbonated mouth. Dig this guy. NDbeerdrinker (164), Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 9, 2009 Aroma is ultra sweet malts, sour apple and cherry. Taste is sweet sour cherry, some caramel, vinegar, and a less that desirable aftertaste that takes away from an otherwise very good beer.
