Dec 10, 2009 Pours a clear amber color with almost no head, just some slightly foamy bubbles. Complex aroma of red wine, vinegar, leather, wood and cranberry. Nice flavor that is a delicate balance between sour and sweet with hints of red fruits. Slightly sour, short finish. Medium carbonation.

Dec 9, 2009 My first sour! Aroma is just like balsalmic vinegar. Pours a reddish brown with a thin almond head. Taste is, wait for it, sour. A really nice taste, completely different to anything I’m used to in beer. It’s going to take a few of these to develop my palate. I’ll probably have to come back to this and re-rate once I understand this style better.

Dec 9, 2009 A reddish-brown beer with a pretty good looking head that dissipates. The aroma was like a balsamic vinaigrette at a fancy restaurant. The taste was sweet, acidic & salty. The sweet balances out the acidic pretty well with a thin palate.

Dec 2, 2009 Updated: Dec 6, 2009~ Purchased this bottle from Big Z Beverage in Huntington, NY. This sour ale pours a dark reddish brown with a huge foamy head that subsides rather quickly into some spotty lacing. The smell reminds me a lot of balsamic vinegar. There is a really nice sour and earthy smell going on here. The taste is a wonderful complex combination of sweet and sour. Absolutely refreshing! A little pricey @ $4.95 for a single 11.2 oz bottle, but hey, you get what you pay for right?
All in all, if you’re looking for a beer that’s unique and different—you’ve come to the right place! ~

Dec 1, 2009 11.2 oz bottle. Great looking brown pour with a ruby red tinge. Medium tan head. Aroma of oak barrels, sugar and Belgian yeast. Great taste of yeast, plums and oak with a fantastic sour finish that doesn’t overpower the rest of the flavors present.
