Oct 27, 2008 Bottle. Nose is sweet with light sour notes, light musk. Cloudy orange with huge white head, loads of carbonation and nice lacing. Flavor is sweet/sour, more grape and plum than current. The sour notes are in great compliment to the sweetness. This bottle might have spent a few years in a cellar, and is showing great balance. High carbonation but generally drinkable palate.

Oct 18, 2008 Tasting - Perfect Pour. Dark hazed gold, creamy white head. Soft aromas of sour berry and black currants throughout. Sweet fruity black currant flavors balance on hints of dried red grape and citrus. Light bodied with zesty carbonation. Decent, but nothing to write home about...

Jul 27, 2008 750ml bought on the east coast a few months ago shared with my gf cyn. Thankfully this didn’t gush like its sister beer. Pours orange with a tan head that is very frothy. Nose of black currant. Taste is sweet almost cloying with an over abundance of carbonation.

Jun 28, 2008 Deep orange-ruddy beer, very cloudy with a light white head. Aroma is lightly fruity and quite earthy. There is a soft dustiness. It’s fruity but not overly sweet. It’s quite nice really. Lean and quite drinkable. Spritzy carbonation and a creamy mouthfeel. Probably the only cassis beer that I’ve truly enjoyed.

Jun 26, 2008 Bottle at Joe’s tasting. Aroma is very dry, wheaty, chalky, unassertive. Great head on the pour, though no color from the cassis at all. No surprise, I guess, as they just used syrup. Lame. Some fruit in the flavor, but in general comes across as a total mess. Nothing meshes at all.
