| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 6, 2007 I’m glad I didn’t enter my review from RBSG for this, because it was much better the second time I had it. Pours a murky reddish brown. Nice tart cherry, green apple, yeasty spiciness, and an almost mustard like character on the nose. Flavor is an explosion of tart green apple and cherries as well as some sweet toffee like malt. The mustard also comes through on the finish, but it is a very nice complement to the flavor. This was much better than I remembered, and I will be taking a few home to see what more time does for this beer. WeeHeavySD (3041), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA

Pours a dark hazy amber/orange color with golden yellowish hues when held to a light source and a two finger frothy off-white head that slowly dissipates into a lasting ring. Sporadic spots of lacing.
Sour tart funky aroma with hints of light fuit, mostly apple, pear and some cherry. Slight champagne yeasty effervescence, some candy sugar and citrus notes.
Slightly tart and decently sour but not acidic at all. Hints of estery sweet fruit notes, namely cherry, strwberry and raspberry with some sweet citrus peel notes. Subtle hops. The sour/tratness is not very extrenme allowing for a lot of the other flavors to shine though. Well balanced and complex while still containing a good bit of funk. Don’t go in expecting it to taste like an authentic lambic or an American Wild Ale. Recommended.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 8, 2008 Slightly hazy orange-brown body beneath a thin white head. Funky, yeast aroma that also has notes of cheese and tropical fruits. Pleasant tartness, but no overly sour flavors. Lots of fruity citrus notes and some floral earthy flavors too. Not bad.
