Mar 6, 2008 Pours reddish brown with light tan head. Sour aroma of vinegar and cherries. Flavor of sour cherries and some sweetness. This is my first sour ale and it’s kind of weird. It may take time to get used to the flavors. It tastes good, just not like anything I’ve had before. Thin to medium body with lively carbonation. Very smooth.

Mar 4, 2008 12 oz. bottle poured into snifter- poured transparent very dark ruby brown, medium carbonation, tan head bubbled and laced away. Aroma of vinegar, dull sweetness, and sourness overall. Hits the mouth with a thin body, sweet tartness like dark cherries through out, finish is smooth. Not bad.

Mar 4, 2008 330 mL bottle. This one is darker than I expected (don’t know why, exactly) - reddish brown with a smallish but persistent head. The aroma reminds me of balsamic vinegar, with a little sour cherry thown in. There is a real sweet & sour thing going on with the flavour - very appealing. Some fruit (cherry again), oak, red wine, and sour. Great complexity. Very smooth. Medium to heavy carbonation. I really like this one.

Mar 4, 2008 Updated: Aug 3, 2009Dark honey amber in color. A minimal amount of head with a good amount of lacing. An oaked sweetness on the nose. Sweet and sour notes. Clover honey and sour cherries. Sticky mouthfeel. The sweeter side seemed to overpower the tart sour notes. Not a favorite, but good.

Mar 4, 2008 aroma was fruity (grape?) and alcohol. this one had a nice strong tart kick in the middle and a dry finish. drink this one last if trying a bunch, this was in the middle and make the next couple hard to taste

Mar 3, 2008 Poured brown with a small off white head. Aroma of cherries. Good funkiness. Not really sour as others I’ve had. Mostly cherries. Shared with the fiancee.

Mar 2, 2008 I thought it smelled like nail polish remover initially and K said all she could smell was barbecued shrimp. Interesting sour ale with a lot of complexity going on, but I couldn’t get over the smell. The more I drank, the more a cherry syrup flavor started coming to the forefront. Definitely had better sours. Poured a gorgeous amber color, however.
