Jul 28, 2009 Updated: Aug 9, 2009#783 for this beer, 750ml bottle. Thick,murky brown pour with a light tan head. Citrusy orange/lemon aroma, a little sweet and just a slight tartness. Tart apple flavor, a bit of sweetness and little woody character, not too shabby.

Jul 28, 2009 Bottle. Pours a deep reddish amber with a small beige ring that left some nice lacing. Nose of oak, vinegar, cherries and some deep earthiness. Flavor held some light dylacital qualities with oak and some tart red fruits. Finish was a little thin but a great beer for the price.

Jul 23, 2009 not sour compared to, say, russian river, but for an "artisan" amber, it’s pleasantly tart. this was actually worth the $10.99 price-tag. nothing that quite blew me away but very solid all the way around. funky sour barnyard aroma, smooth full body, velvety finer thick head atop a dark cloudy amber body, and some slightly sour tasrt fruits and a touch of hops and sweet malt. well done!

Jul 22, 2009 Bottle sampled at the Belgian tasting at Blacklick Wine & Spirits on 7/16/09. Pours a cloudy brown with a thin tan head. Wild yeast aroma with some sour cherry and lemon. Flavor starts with sour cherry, then moves to red wine and malt before a bitter finish. Not bad and probably the best of the night. I don’t love the sours, but I’ll take them over the banana Belgians any day.
