Sep 27, 2009 On tap at Stone Sourfest 09. Dark caramel colored pour with a soapy white head. Sour tartness, wood and bourbon aroma. Flavor is leather, sour, cherries. Quite tasty.

Sep 26, 2009 Draft sample at the brewpub - this is a crazy awesome american sour ale - unlike so many of this style, the sourness, acidity, vinegar character, and acetic qualities are very well balanced and mild, making for a complex yet approachable sour ale that I could easily drink a great deal of - a tiny bit of leathery funk - mild red wine notes, oak - the alcohol is very well-masked - some moderate sweetness (some chocolate and cherry) that disappears in the dry, tannic finish - it’s been a long time since I’ve been this impressed by Avery - this makes me hopeful for the bottle of Sui Generis I was able to acquire today.

Stone Sour Fest 2009
Poured a rusty dark brown.
Nose was heavy with cherry and vinegar.
Taste was similar to a quad, too much raisin, sweet, with a finish of vinegar and a little bit of horse blanket.

Aug 26, 2009 On tap at Beachwood, probably the most interesting beer I had on the night. Color is dark red-brown with a surprisingly attractive cream-colored lacing. Nose is vanilla, oak, sweet plum, creamy malt, and Brett. Flavor starts sweet, sort of a malt-strawberry, with strong hints of wood. Naturally (this was a SOUR Fest!), the funk qualities to come in towards the middle, and the finish even surprises you with some prickly fermentation. Overall, this was a treat to have on tap, it was well-balanced, and features flavors that keep changing throughout the sip.

Strong fruity sherry aroma. Dark coloured and strong in alcohol with some sour fruit flavour. A little dryness in a warming whisky finish.

Jul 27, 2009 On tap at Stone Sourfest. I liked this one. Burnt orange in the glass with a creamy head. Nose is lightly sweet and spicy. Taste is rich and full-mouthed. Lots of sweetness. Big carbonation. Honey and cherries. Yum
