Feb 25, 2009 750ml. Bottle. Deep burgundy color with a soft tan ring of foam. Musky aroma with tart fruits and aged wood. Shows characteristics of balsamic, but with more sugar and less vinegar. Flavor is similar with pronounced acidic cherry and sweet malt characteristics. Mouthfeel is somewhat fizzy and medium bodied. Definitely a bit sour on the tongue with notes of the oak barrel throughout. Finish is dry and lingering.

Feb 25, 2009 Pours copper with a nice, light brown head. Aroma shows raspberry, balsamic vinegar and oak. Palate has sweet malt that brings berries before the oak kicks into gear and delivers a dry, salty mustiness to it. Finishes with chalky, slightly tart acidity.

Feb 13, 2009 Dark burgandy in color with a bubbly tan head.Smell is awesome. Sour apple dominates the nose as well as cherry. It is a bit musky and tart and very complex like a good wine.Very sweet taste at first and it finishes sour. Light malt flavor with hints of cherry, cranberry, and sour apple. Light carbonation and a great taste make this a must try.

Feb 12, 2009 Updated: Feb 13, 2009First ever sour ale. Not really sure how much I like it. Nice light fruity aroma, some hints of berries and citrus. Mouthfeel is very smooth. Flavor is fruity, with some hints of mellow cheese. I’m just not sure about the sourness...I can’t determine if it complements the beer on my palate or overwhelms it. There also seems to be a lingering heavy sweetness that clings to the palate. Overall, not that impressed with this one.
