12oz bottle. A dark maroon red with a pillowy pink tinted 3 finger head with clingy lacing. A currant aroma that is bold and rich, with just a hint of biscuity malt underneath. Tastes of strong currant that alternates between tart and sweet with an dry finish.

Bottle received via trade with daknole. Pours hazy ruby with a small, fizzy, off-white head, mostly diminishing with fair lacing. Aroma is average malt (bread, cookie), light hops (flowers), average yeast (dough, earth) with notes of plum, wine, and currants. Medium bodied, slick texture, average carbonation, and a sour finish. Average duration, moderate sweetness, light acidity and sourness.

Bottle from Ibrew2or3. Thanks man. Orangeish pour with a medium head. Lots of sour fruit on the nose, as well as some raison and other dark fruit. Taste is pretty refreshing and enjoyable with lots of fruit and some very mild hops.

Thanks to my friend Nick for scoring this! Copperish/orange pour wiith a nice head. Aroma is malty, sugary, grapes, raisins. Flavor is spicy and somewhat hoppy. Interesting brew.

Thanks to BDR for sharing this bottle! ’03 vintage. Orange opaque pour with little head. Sweet aroma of currants. Sweet, syrupy flavor of currant with a little spice and hops in there. A little too sweet, but very interesting.

2003 12oz Vintage. Pure Gusher! Pours hazy orange copper color with 1" of frothy with head. Aromas of grapes, sweet malt, and sugar. Flavor was just the same as the aroma. Very "slammable" brew and just downright good. I would like to have had a fresh batch of this to compare...

Bottle, courtesy Degirth. Pours a caramel reddish color, ruddy brown, with filmy lacing and a nice head. Aromas of raspberry, corn, grain, grits, some butter. Flavor is filled with intense and interesting fruit. Corn, grain, and other unique elements. Smooth and crisp, has managed to age well. Very good.

Bottle courtesy of Retorp. Pours a hazy amber with a small white head. Aroma is vinous with dry dark fruity and spicy yeast. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness and smooth alcohol. Good.
