May 29, 2009 Bottle. Thanks to Sebletitje for sharing. I just do not understand sour beer yet. Poured a hazy reddish color. Aroma is very unusual to me, very funky with a small tart cherry presence. Very mild cherry flavor, hard to detect thru all the sour tartness. Finishes sour and dry.

May 29, 2009 pours ruby red with light reddish head.
Aroma is just very cherry like with hints of vinegar though not overly sour.
Taste, cherry, some sourness and oak wood barrel. The sour aspect is just on the spot, not too much and makes this one a very drinkable sour.
Overall palate is in the mid vinegary range with some light hints of tart cherry.

May 29, 2009 Bottle, courtesy sebletitje. Reddish haze of a pour, frothy white head and sticky lacing. Nose is tart, with vinegar, acidic cherries. Flavor is nice tart fruit punch, with cherries and acidic notes, and some dry grain in the finish. Medium-bodied and very drinkable. Felt like I wouldn’t like this based on the aroma, but it’s pretty good.

May 21, 2009 Thanks to hopdog. Pours a murky reddish brown with a smaller bubbly off white head. Aroma of tart cherries, cherry pie and a faint hint of vinegar. Flavor of tart and sour cherries. Nice flavor but hard to get much more than the cherry pie tartness that was going on.

May 18, 2009 Sampled at Julio’s, 2008 bottle. Aroma has a big sour cherry flavor, balanced with subtle cocoa to “darken” the aroma. Flavor starts with acidic bite, then moves towards sweet strawberry and cherry notes. For some reason, I though of red sour patch kids, though with fresh fruit and real, honest acidity. Overall this beer is well balanced, intensely flavorful, and with a good rich mouthfeel.
