Commercial Description:
This beer was brewed in sept. 06 and has since then been aged in oak barrels until bottling on March 22. 2008. The beer is blended for roundness but is still very sour and a little bit acetic. We think our first attempt has been a great success and we will definitely try this again.

I had no idea this existed but tytoanderso decided to send me this. Awesome man! Poured a dark cola brown with a small tan head. Aroma was bright cherry, acidic funk, and some oak. Flavor was similar with a great bit of acidity in the finish. Almost deserty for a sour but still had plenty of punch. Thanks a bunch Tyler!

[Bottle] Pours a cloudy brown with a smallish tan head. Aroma is fantastic and complex with cherries, funk, some caramel, and vinegar. Flavor is cherries, balsamic vinegar, maybe a hint of juniper, and quite a bit of tartness. This is really a fantastic sour. Steeped with complexity, and I feel like this would age well.

Pours brownish, with a tan head. Aroma is cherries, funk, oak, and strawberries. Flavor is tart cherries, strawberries, and funk, with a acetic ending. This is very good and surprisingly drinkable.

Nice. Tons of cherry and sour in this brown sour ale. Bought for a sour tasting I wanted to hold, but no one seemed interested in doing with me. Took another sip. Wow. This is exactly the kind of sour ale I love. Full of body and complexity. Tart. Lots of fruit.

Bottle. Mahogony beer with a dark tan head. Sour aroma with berry (mostly cherry) fruitiness. Tart/sour flavor with a nice acetic bite and cherries. Medium bodied. Refreshing. Tart/sour lingers with malt and some berry.
