2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/2033cl pours a hazy, nearly opaque, deep mahogany brown with a thin, creamy, lacing off white head. Nose of cherries, a little cough syrup, a little watermelon Jolly Rancher, some throat lozenge. Flavor is better but not great, sweet, cherry candies, a little vanilla, some malt, some artificial candy sweetness. Medium bodied, slick, sweet finish. Needed a lot more tartness. More acid to cut the sweetness would have been great.

Bottle share thanks to Rick, this one was all vinegar for me. Had off scents and taste, was tough to drink it, had almost a zesty flavor character.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
February 2011. Poured redbrown with a white head. Good to see a beer that has been around for so long is still going strong. Aromas are dark sour fruit, yeast and malt. Taste is tart and refreshing. Good beer.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle @ home picked up at Wilbur’s Fort Collins. Pours a clear reddish brown appearance with a brown head. Vinous, black cherry, chocolate cake, oaky aroma. Juicy, black raspberry, cherry, red grape, fairly vinous, oaky, mildly acetic flavor. Smooth and easy to drink but not all that interesting.
3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
The aroma is so promising with notes of fruit, sweetness, and balsamic vinegar; however, the taste is not at all like the aroma. Overly sweet, syrupy and not that sour. Disappointing.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 11/20
sticky cough-drop cherry sweetness, slightly acetic, overly dense, stinky-sweet closeness to the aroma. sweet cherry-funk and cough drops. carbonation is big, and is the only part of this beer that makes it even remotely drinkable.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle at home. It pours deep red-brown with a small beige head. The nose is jam, cherry, wood, earth and light spice. The taste is tangy cherry, cherryade, lemon, light wood, faint vinegar and jam. Medium body, moderate carbonation and slightly sticky mouth-feel. Pretty decent all-round tangy fruity sour beer.

Body is a translucent reddish brown. Finger rests on top.

Sweet cherries with a slight funky twang like oak and cherry tannins. More sweet then anything overall though. Some vinegar but little in the way of tartness.
Medium medium-full body.
