Dec 28, 2009 Updated: Dec 29, 2009Tap. Reddish brown pour, nice lacing. Lots of flavor - fruity/cherries, much vinegar on the nose, and carbonated. Probably a great sour, but just not my style.

Dec 28, 2009 Deep red brown. Soft drink fizz faded to nothing immediately. Aroma has sour cherries and quite a lot of dank. Taste is sweet and sour. Residual carbonation is enough to keep the palate lively - it has some old vinegar astringency too. Good with soft and washed rind cheeses.

Dec 28, 2009 Bottle from Beerstore.co.nz. Pours brown/red with bubbly tan head. A nice, sour nose of cherries and vanilla. Mouthfilling sour cherry flavour with a sweet sugary body. The sour character is nice, but the sweetness kills then drinkability.

Dec 26, 2009 12 oz bottle from the Four Firkins. Deep reddish/brown pour with a thin white head. Aroma is (go figure) sour, quite pungent. Reminds me of a malt vinegar. Flavor is also (obviously) sour but kind of sweet at the same time. Finish is tangy and actually a tiny bit sweet. I’ll need to try more sour beers (this is my first sour beer) to have a better gauge to rate something like this. Good candidate for future re-rating.

Dec 20, 2009 On tap at the Bulldog, St. Paul. Deep ruby color, good lacing and a small but resilient head. Smells of sweet cherries, apples, and some plum . . . but definitely some must, too. Bold sweetness lingers on the palate, lively carbonation. Tastes of sour cherries, caramel, and maybe a sweet merlot/burgundy. Hints of cinnamon, almost like someone mixed in some apple cider. Hard to suss out all of the flavors and complexities -- I enjoyed this in a limited quantity, but anything more would be a chore. My girlfriend absolutely loathed it -- not for everyone!

Dec 14, 2009 Rich brown, nice beige head with good lacing. Aroma is woody and young wine. Tastes fruity and then mellows to a tangy light hoppy aftertaste. Lightly carbonated. A treat

Dec 12, 2009 11.2 oz bottle. Tart aroma; this is going to be a beer like no other, I can already tell--I keep going back and forth between "It smells so exotic and complex!" and "It smells like a rank gym locker." It kind of smells like Raisinettes candy covered in Sour Patch Kids sugar (for those in parts of the world where there are no Raisinettes, they are chocolate-covered raisins; Sour Patch Kids are a sour, fruity candy) . Very funky. Pours brown with beautiful lacing. Obviously, it’s sour, but not as sour as any of Lindeman’s Lambics. A little thin, maybe. Starts sweet, finishes sour.
