Mar 14, 2008 3/7/08 - On Draft at Ginger Man in Dallas. Pours brown with amber hues, foamy, thick beige head topping it. Nose is sour, slight smoke, fruit. Great sour fruit taste, apple pear and plum, some hints of vinegar, but balanced well with the maltiness. Very good.

Mar 13, 2008 Pours a very dark amber with a thin white head. Slightly sour aroma that is a nice balance of maltiness and sour fruit. Perfectly balanced sour ale that is not to sour nor to sweet. A nice amount of maltiness and sour fruit combie to give this a beer an extremely smooth very drinkable taste. The best sour ale I’ve had yet.

Mar 11, 2008 375 ml bottle, looks to be very fresh, just put on the shelf at Sam’s in Durham. OK cork says 2007.Very acetic nose. Medium carbonation. Little to no hop aroma. Nice acid bite. Taste a very ripe pineapple like ester. Taste old dried organic unsulphured apricot fruit leather. Almost like tutti-frutti- a hint of maraschino cherry. Quite a flavorful dance going on. Really an explosion. Could never be duplicated by anyone. Has a very rich old world character. I should always keep a stash of this. A must try.

Mar 10, 2008 Pours a deep brown with red highlights. Aroma is that of balsamic vinegar. The taste is much more complex with dark fruits, caramel and licorice balanced by a thirst-quenching tartness. Very little Brett character at all. Finishes dry. Flat out wonderful.

Mar 4, 2008 i only had a small sample of this, but the aroma reminded my of a nice brandy, it had a nice mild dry sourness to it, and a dry acidic finish..this one is good to drink early

Mar 3, 2008 Courtesy boboski. 2004 vintage. Pours a semi-transparent, cloudy, medium brown color. A fizzy tan head fades to a wispy film, with minimal spots of lacing dotting the glass. The aroma is lightly sour and fruity, with a sweet caramel malt component. Oak and vanilla add smoothing complexity. Flavors of tart caramel apple work wonderfully with the soft oak and mild, tannic alcohol. This is so incredibly drinkable, in great part due to the lighter body and subtle carbonation. The mouthfeel reminds me of a fine prosecco, while the flavor is all sweet and sour goodness. I suspect that this excellent brew has hit its prime at 4 years of age, but I can imagine it fantastic when fresh as well. I’ll be getting more of this, for sure.
