hazy apricot color, respectable, quickly disappearing white head, some lace. sweet sweet fruit nose, some maltiness. sweet fruit flavor, hint of hops, finishing suggestion of alcohol. medium bodied, sweet finish. too sweet for me, but on the plus side, at least it is not cloying. bottle provided by cornfield.

Black cherry red pour with creamy white head and lace. Cherry like aroma as well. with sour kicker. Fruity but a tad flat and musty. A bit thin as well. A very funky but good beer.

Sampled at Noogfest High 5. Poured a red brown with an off-white head that left light lace. Aromas of caramel and dark fruits. The flavor found currants and malt background. Light to medium body.

@Noogfest High5-12oz bottle–pours an off white ring for a head and dark amber color. Aroma is dark berry-sweet. Taste is dark berry-sweet, some hops. Slight syrup on mouth feel.

Sampled at Noogfest High 5. Thanks to Lithy. Pours a hazy purple with tannish head. Good sour with dark berries that provides a decent pucker. Very interesting, I think they should bring this one back.

No shock this one is retired I get it had age on it. But still held up well. This poured a dark amber color with a beige head. The aroma contains some currants, other dark fruits, and yeast. The flavor was a bit yeasty from the age but didn’t distract much. Some currants, caramel, raisins, and yeasty notes. Nice beer RIP. You should pour yourself out for yourself errr yeah.

Yup another imadeadguy gem. Poured gold with a white head. Good carb for being at least 5 years old. Aroma of fruit and candy. Refreshing fruit with some candy malt backbone. Stellar.
