Aug 23, 2009 I heard that this will be bottled. If it’s not too expensive, I’ll be buying it up. A light and drinkable sour kriek beer, this was perfect on the scorching GTMW09 day. Mildly fizzy, pink body. Tart and sour but not overwhelming.

Aug 8, 2009 Sampled at GTMW 2009 (Madison, WI). Pours a reddish copper, small offwhite head that clings to the edges. Aromas are sour cherries, touch of unk and vinegar. Sweet yet tart, taste is similar, light yet flavorful with heavy tart cherry influence. Not really funky, but prickly, with a decent body for the style. Good fruit and tartness, a bit sweet overall for the style but not distracting. Finish tart on the palate.

Oct 22, 2009 On tap at the Great Lakes Brewfest 2009. Reddish brown with a thin off-white head. Aroma of sour cherries, varnish, mild yeast and oak. Taste is mildly sour with cherry, tannins, light funk and malt. Though not as "sour" as most sour ale it’s a still a decent sour ale.

Nov 4, 2009 Pours a light reddish color with a small head. Wonderful sour cherry dominated the aroma. Flavor is of tart, sour cherries, but not as sour as the aroma lead me to believe. Some touches of oak in there as well. Not bad at all!

Nov 28, 2008 FoBAB 2008, Chicago: The brewer told me that he used Rodenbach’s yeast for this. It poured a dull pink body with a frothy, pink tinted head. The aroma was a blending of sweet dark cherries and sour cherries, the former dominating. A tad thin, but tasty. The tartness increased and a fuzzy funkiness was added. Sweet-sour finish. Pretty good.

May 15, 2009 On tap at Sugar maple in Milwaukee. A good beginner’s sour but not as complex as some of my favorites. Red color with a small pillow of a head. Tart cherry and vanilla aroma. Flavor is the same with a spicy finish. A little more oomph and this could be a world beater. As it is, my brother that hates sours found it tolerable.

May 15, 2009 DOLA 09. Pours an orange red with a fluffy pillowed head. Aromas are light and slightly tart. Light tart flavors of oak, raspberry, cherry, berries, strawberry seeds, and oak. I have to search for these light flavors, but what’s there is decent.

Dec 29, 2008 Hazy to cloudy pink/peach colored liquid. Modest off-white head. Mild scent of sour cherry and dark cherries. Hints of an old dry barn. Fairly calm in flavors. Again a subtle mix of sour and sweet dark cherries. Hints of oak in the back and not much brett. Quite easy to drink and would go well on a hot summer day in the country with some bread and semi-soft cheese.
