Bottle at WBF in Raleigh (nearly my last beer!!!). Pours mahogany, with a off-white head. Aroma is fruity, sour. Tastes similar, with cherries and green apple. Not as good as the New Glarus last year, but very tasty.

750ml bottle-Pours a burnt orange with a small off white head and an aroma of sourness and fruity. Taste of the same with the sourness not being overpowering. I like this much better than the La Folie maybe cuz it is much milder but still very tasty.

Reminds me partly of my homemade wine. Very fruity and exciting! This beer tingles the tongue and has an entertaining palate. Red amber in color and worth drinking again.

750 ml Bottle. Pours a nice reddish amber with a thick white head. Has a strong aroma of fruits...fermented apple cider, sour cherries, and yeast. Flavor is a struggle between sweet and sour with a overriding tart finish. Lighter than I expected, quite refreshing, and definitely unique.

750 that I’ve had in the cellar for a while, I believe this came from bevmo. Shared with my gf cyn. Pours deep orange wiht a tan head. Nose is sweet and slightly acidic with hints of sourness. Taste is slightly sour with a strange oaky woodyness. Can’t say I hate but can’t say I love it either.

Pours brown/red with a slight haze. Big lasting head. A very clean barnyard aroma (is that an oxymoron?). Leathery is a very good adjective here. Not as sour as I was expecting, but a whole lot more aroma/flavor. Pretty light in body. Refreshing. A very nice change of pace.
