Taste had some slightly off oak flavors, a little more tannins than i’d like, nice cherry and vino flavors. Pretty sour, rather funky. scrizzz (1324), kirkland, Washington, USA

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Aug 14, 2009 Bottle, c&c, from Ledger’s. Pours a dark ruby (halogen light) with a sort of fizzy beige/tan head that didn’t last all that long. Overwhelming aroma of cherry and sour. Near medium body with fizzy carbonation. The flavor is cherry, oak, tart fruit. It is astringent, and arguably more than a little funky. Certainly a great sour ale. BuckeyeBoy (1674), Boise, Idaho, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 10, 2009 Bottle Pours out a hazy rust brown topped with a tan head. Aroma was over the top lots of vanilla, oak, cherries and a nice tartness. Taste was much more of the aroma lots of sweetness, cherries, grape, apple. More of the oak and vanilla. Another great sour from the Lodge. I think they are on to something. ditmier (1110), Boise, Idaho, USA

Thick beige head and drippy lace. Cherry and light vinegar on the nose. Oak, apple, grape and toffee. Nice, tart and really refreshing. Reminesant of a Flanders style. Unfortunately all the cherry I picked up was on the aroma . DragonStout (1380), Pataskala, Ohio, USA
