Deep nearly ruby pour tiny whisp of pink head, will streak the glass while drinking. Very mild aroma sweet cherries a touch of wet blanket and very earthy. Palate is avg body w/ a great coating and firm tartness. Flavor is very tart cherry some light leathers the dry woody characters bret comes through in the finish sucking the moisture right off my tongue. Very well blended tastes. Good but I wasn’t in love with this.

Aug 30, 2008 Bottle into flute. Pours clear dark ruby red with almost no head, just a ring of pink bubbles around the edge of the glass. Nose is cherries and vinegar, bit of earthy barnyard funk. Taste is sharp and sour from the very beginning, dry vinegar and sharp cherry sourness, with a bit of barnyard funk and horse blanket emerging on the clean, dry, acidic finish. Mouthfeel is light, with very sharp, dry, fizzy carbonation.

Aug 24, 2008 Deep ruby red pour with a slightly brown tint. Smells like vinegar with a bit of wood. Very sour. Ridiculous sourness-not for the faint of heart. Cherry flavor with a bit of bitterness. This stuff is like a punch in the face!

Aug 21, 2008 The second offering after the brewery tour. This is a lovely pink/red color with a light pink head. Aroma is very nice. Smells like it’s going to be sweet but it isn’t. This is dry, andvery sour. More so than the geuze. Nice carbonation really carries well to the back of the tongue. This stuff is a treat. The fresh cherry tartness is the best part. You think you know what your going to get, but your pleasantly suprised when you find out your wrong.

Aug 11, 2008 Bottle. Fruity smell of cherries, sweet and light acidic. Small fizzy pink head, fast and fully diminishing; a dark clear body. Heavy acidic taste, long duration. The beer is extremely dry with a medium body and a flat carbonation. Something really special!
