katerade (14), Portland, Oregon, USA Feb 11, 2009 Poured brownish red with a medium off white head. Aroma of sweet fruits and citrus accompanied by lightly carbonated palate. Tastes of orange rhine with tart fruit and notes of oak. Nik925 (300), California, USA Feb 10, 2009 Delicious sweetness, very earthy, the polar opposite of what I mean with the description of sweet normally. Some sort of dried fruits shine through...fig or prune. Amazing chewiness, once again, oddly in a good way. Excellent mouth feel, with almost a crystallized sugar feel / taste to it. leeburg (148), Juneau, Alaska, USA Feb 9, 2009 Clear reddish amber with a fizzy head leaving nice lacing. Vinous notes, sherry, green apples, dark candy sugar, champagne, oak, tomato skin, vinegar. Flavors of vinegar (apple cider meets balsamic), amaretto sour, oak again, nice carbonation. Anker (305), Hillerød, Denmark Feb 8, 2009 Bottle. Pours reddish brown with a medium tan head. Aroma is aged balsamic vinegar and some dark fruits.
Flavor is soft and harmonised, mainly prune and raisins with notes of cherries and sugar candy.
It has a long pleasant aftertaste but the palate is watery. BrotherGrendel (551), San Diego (La Jolla), California, USA Feb 8, 2009 A- Pours a medium-ruby red hue, off-white head is soapy and bubbly that mostly dissipates, clumps of lace on the glass
S- Tart fruits, berries, cherries, cola, touch of red wine and vinegar
T- Initial taste is red wine and vinegar, followed by wood, cherries, and berry fruits, finishes sweet and tart
M- Medium-bodied, watery texture, amped up carbonation
D- A solid embodiment of this style and perhaps one of the most popular that I’ve heard of, a very interesting ale that marries sour beer with a wine-like profile mikalooch (159), , New Jersey, USA Feb 5, 2009 Bottle. Pours deep red with a foamy white head. Aroma, is yeast, sourdough bread, and cherries. Flavor is very tart, chanmpagne, cherry and honey. Thin sticky mouthfeel, very carbonated, tingly. Good beer, very interesting. nigos (620), Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England Feb 3, 2009 Dark cola like hue with a light brown creamy head. Vinegar and banana aroma. Tropical fruit flavours with a lingering sour backbone. Not really my type of beer, just too sour. Swalden28 (1442), McKinney, Texas, USA Feb 2, 2009 Bottle at Superbowl party/tasting.
