vikingbeercbus (19), Columbus, Ohio, USA Jun 25, 2008 Pours a nice amber brown with red and gold tones. Good head, quarter inch, frothy, nice lacing and fully lasting. Nose is somewhat disappointing, aroma is light with grainy malt mixed with citrus. Tastes a bit one dimensional, the sour grapefruit is evident with a bit of sweetness. Palate is full and fizzy. Beautiful appearance, taste somewhat disappointing, but points for uniqueness of flavor.
Rciesla (1571), Brick City, New Jersey, USA Nov 20, 2008 Draft. Pours a light golden body. Lightly sour cherry, grapefruit flavor, a vinous note and then malty sweetness. eh. Lubiere (3524), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Oct 26, 2008 A lightly hazed blonde ale with a thin white head. Light lactic aroma with not much character, Rather bland and lifeless ale, with a bit of cherries. Not impressed. On tap at Vermont Brewers Fest 2008, July 19, 2008. Rastacouere (5421), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Sep 29, 2008 <b>Objectively speaking:</b>
A surprisingly poor offering staying miles away from their anti oxidant.
<br />
<b>I like:</b>
Refreshing in its simplicity as well as taste.
<br />
<b>I dislike:</b>
Is there wheat at all in there, it seems like it would fit. Really limited sourness though there’s a fair balsamic character. I don’t get much grapefruit at all, slightly citric, perhaps, but seems more geared towards berries. Too sweet to be all that pleasant.
Ron (789), Rochester, New York, USA Sep 21, 2008 Draft at McGregor’s. Golden pour with a small white head. Fruity aroma. Light and thin brew, but alittle to sour for my taste. DocLock (4175), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 4, 2008 Draft at Capone’s. Copper colored with minimal off-white head. Nose is vinous red winey fruit, balsamic vinegary, and earthy notes. Taste had some cherry, red winey, and sour mashy notes, with a watery palate and an overall lack of complexity.
