Tart raspberries, sour cherries, apple skins, crab apples, and creamy apple butter on the nose. Pours a cloudy amber. The flavor is sweet, with notes of cherries, apples, tart raspberries. Its funky, light on the palate and a little dry.

Bottle.
Pours a deep cherry amber brown with a nice head of off-white. Aroma is woody cherry with dark fruit highlights. Taste is cedar cherry tart, with a lingering finish of the same flavors to boot. Nice mouthfeel. A quality beer for sure. Also shared with the Houston guys at the sour tasting, courtsey of Zinister.

Burgundy brownish red. Soft khaki head. Sweet supple cherry & vinegar aroma. Flavor - leather - almost stinky sweaty feet. Very bitter for a Flemish sour. Cherry pit. Authentic.

750ml bottle, hazy murky amber-red, with a beige head, leaving some laces, yeasty, sweet-sour fruity oaky nose of blueberry, blackcurrant, with a light musty, tart accent, with some mild bretty, funky notes within a leathery, horseblancket aromas follow through on a meduim-bodied palate with a yeasty, raw toasty,musty, bretty, fruity character, of blackcurrant tartness, with a mild funky, ironish, tannic, wet oakiness, leading towards a tannic, fruity, oaky, light sourness finish.

Pours hazy caramel color with off white head. Sour aroma with some barnyard funk and mustiness. Not really sour, just tart with wild funkiness. Some sweet malt flavor in the finish. Medium body with soft carbonation. It is a decent beer but I was hoping for more sourness.
