Sep 14, 2008 Bottle - Pours a slightly cloudy reddish-brown in color with a small light tan head that faded to a very thin covering over the beer. Small amount of lacing. Aroma is moderately sour with apple and some spiciness. Flavor is quite apple cider-like... almost an apple wine character. In spite of the initial sourness the beer is actually quite sweet. Lingering sweetness on the finish. "Sparkly" carbonation. When I first smelled this beer I thought that I would not like it... I was wrong... it is a pretty good beer.

Sep 13, 2008 Pours a rich ruby color with a thick bubbly head. Aroma is slightly vinegar, apple, a bit of wood and dark fruit. Taste is light wood, red grapes, apple peel, with a metallic finish. Not your typical sour but still enjoyable.

Sep 5, 2008 Had at the Abbey, and shared by dragonstout. Thanks Brian!! Pour was a dark ruby red. Aroma was soured fruit. Flavor was berries, sour apples, and a hint of spice. I imagine this would be a good beer to try to get used to sours, if, like me, you do not like sours!

Sep 1, 2008 The big bottle poured deep mahogany with cherry tones and fluffy tan head. Smells of dark fruits with caramel notes. The flavor is definitely fruity and sweet, with a slight alcohol warmth. It’s a good tasting sour, but not too complex. Medium bodied with sufficient carb. Very tasty.

Aug 31, 2008 Bottled(250ml). -Reddish/brown coloured, small pale tan head, sour wine like almost vinegar nose. The taste is also vinegar, very sour fruity, light spicy and lactic with notes of caramel, wood and maybe glue. Strong sourness in the finish. Didn’t impress me.
