3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
750ml bottle courtesy of a generous ba... Pours a hazy reddish brown hue and topped with a thin wispy soapy white head... Aroma of acidity and red fruit seedy berries. Sour definitely with underlying oak and vanilla presence but remains predominantly. Light vinegar presence. Some earthy Brett comes through after warming... Cherry vinegar and red fruit presence with more reliance on the former. Seedy red berries. Sour and nice and quite drinkable. Lighter bodied with active carbonation. Enjoyable and a pleasant surprise.

750mL MrChopin. It’s like the beer they said would happen, but didn’t. Nose is heavy acetic, red wine vinous, oud bruin character, salty. Similar to Struise Earthmonk. Taste is pretty good- sharp lemon, mouth-watering, obvious acetic heat, a little heavy spice. Nice lactic sourness. Soft overall. Much better than I expected. Letting this decant was a good idea. Good stuff. Nice oude bruin clone.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Sampled at the DC gathering at GT’s place. Awesome sourness. Nose is sour cherries. Flavor is even more sour and tart than the nose and the black cherry notes shine through. VERY TASTY sour. Thanks Kevin.
3.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle shared by MrChopin. Pours lightly hazy mahogany with an average, frothy off-white head, medium-long retention with good lacing. Aroma is black cherry, sour notes, light caramel malt, straw and cereal malt, and light sugars. Flavor is sweet and sour black cherry, lightly medicinal, and a dry finish. The flavor kind of falls apart after the nice aroma. Medium body, warmth, and carbonation.
4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle courtesy of MrChopin, thanks! Murky amber color, large beige head. Aroma of barnyard animals and cereal. Taste is more than just soft sourness, as well as stone fruits and a citrus edge. Very nice.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
This is probably their best beer. A nice American wild that isn’t over the top with vinegar or brett. This would be a good intro into sours. Nice balance of vinegar, funk and fruit. I bet that if Russian river or lost abbey released this that it would score much higher. Well done weyerbacher!
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a murky dark amber color with a small off-white head. A bit of sour cherry aroma along with some vinegar and damp, musty oak. Rather bland on the nose and the flavor. There is a little bit of tartness, but it’s somewhat sweet and bready. Mild acetic qualities and a definite mustiness.
3.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
750 ml bottle. Tastes like a great oud broun. Brownish red color with a nice white head. Tart and fresh, nice,
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
(750ml bottle) Pours a cloudy orange body with a medium beige head. Aroma of plum, raisins, berries, and vinous. Flavor of vinous, balsamic, berries, caramel, some cheese, and plum.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Hazy amber color with a small, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of brett, wood, wine, berries, and wild yeast. Taste of wine, wood, dark fruits, wild yeast, and a sour finish.
