Nice bright red-orange pour with a foamy heady. Sour cherries, malt and yeast in the aroma. Flavor is sweet and sour at the same time, with lots of cherries and malt. A nice, not too sour, sour. Good. Thanks Paul! Sparky27 (1620), Phoenix, Arizona, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | May 27, 2009 750ml bottle shared by psprings at hellbilly’s holiday tasting. Pours a blowing amber with a small white head. The nose is sour cherry and wine vinegar. The taste is vinegar, tart fruit and malt. Medium semi-prickly mouthfeel. Decent stuff – thanks Paul!

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | May 27, 2009 Nice sour. Lovely color, a light reddish plum, very transparent. Fizzy head, not compact at all. Thinner body than desired. Aroma of cherries and soured milk, nicely done, powerful. You can kind of pick apart the layers here; acid and fruit are somewhat separate. Needs melding time. Good, but not mindblowing (I had some serious expectations...). Thanks to 11026 for the bottle. rustychiles (1068), Mesa, Arizona, USA

Pours a nice orange yellow with a white head. Aroma is sweet malt, yeasts, funk. Flavor is slight sourness, caramel, malts, dark fruits, yeasts. Wish this was more sour, but I think my palate may have been effected by previous sours. JaBier (1264), Capital City, Ohio, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 18, 2009 Poured from bomber. Aroma is sour cherry, wood, and earthiness. Palate greets with a nice full feel, supporting the flavors with soft deluxe carbonation. Flavor has strong initial sourness -- a tart cherry sourness – beautifully complemented by woody character, must, and coca-cola. So, so complex and delicious. Finishes balanced, intensely flavorful, and demanding of the next sip. BuckeyeBoy (1689), Boise, Idaho, USA

Aroma of pit fruit, wood, and more fruit berry. Tast was of pit fruit, berry, oak, and malts. A lot going on here. WOW. A nice little sour and tart on it.
