The aroma is lightly sour fruit, and the flavour is bready, bitter and lightly sour. Overall a palatable gently sour and yeasty beer. hughie (3075), Bedford, Bedfordshire, England
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Aug 6, 2009 Cask, gravity, at GBBF ’09. American Beer of the Festival for me. Hazy copper colour. Sour woody aroma, but the taste is beguilingly sweet and fruity with slight astringency. Some dryness. This was the beer I wanted at that moment: full of alcohol but intensely approachable and friendly. TBone (6844), Pori, Finland

A bit murky amber color, not much head. Sour grapefruit nose. Very tart, grapefruit, lime, some strawberries too. Intensive beer. Nice alcoholic, a bit sweet, tart and hoppy aftertaste.

Cherry lingers. Sugar candy in the background. Lots of oak. Fantastic. j12601 (1327), Poughkeepsie, New York, USA

Pouring from a cask at BCTC. Pours a hazy near still brown with a thin white head. Sweet caramel and light brett on the nose. Light wine notes. Light bitter cherry finish. This stuff was unbelievably tasty.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 2, 2009 2008 bottle. Pours orange with beige head. The aroma is obvious oak with some slight brett, some peach, yeast, and a few peppery hints. The flavor is also quite oaky with some pepper and farminess. Peach and toast notes are in there, too, as is a bit of a dry vinous note. The finish is pleasingly dry. Quite a good beer. carruthm (1167), Seattle, Washington, USA
