Jan 12, 2005 On tap at the map room. Deep brown w/ a quickly dissipating head. Huge cherry and almond aromas. Equally huge flavors with some added vanilla. Somewhat sour but not overly so. Nice bretta character.

Jan 5, 2005 This poured a deep reddish-brown with a halo around the glass in lieu of a head. The aroma was very acrid and vinegary with some underlying cherry. Has kind of a sweet/sour fruity taste, reminding of the cherries from the tree in my yard as a kid. Sour finish.

Dec 28, 2004 Beautiful cherry, sour vinegar aroma. Red-brown with some head. Mild sourness but a very strong cherry flavor. Soothing palate, moderately sweet, though a little light. Not rocking my world, but certainly o.k. (2004 Christmas Party, my #4, group?s #9T)

Dec 25, 2004 Updated: Sep 22, 2005Rating #2 - Bottle (7 3 7 3 16). A brown reddish color (ruby tint in the light) with a laced tan head. Strong sour beery aroma, cinamon, ginger. Sweet berry flavors (cherry), spices, a touch of lambic-like qualities, dry, and tart. Rating #1 - Bottle (5 3 6 3 13). A redish color with a light brown head. Sour cherry, dry and not much spice. It didn’t hold up to style like i wanted it to, although it had a nice aftertaste. Christmas Party 2004 ranked 11/15 (mine) and 9/15 (group).

Dec 2, 2004 Bottled. Pours a clear, dark amber color. Just a bit of a tan lacing, no real head. Sour nose with aromas of cherries. Nice sourness and maltiness in the taste but both seem a bit thin. Just a bit of dryness that fades quickly with no aftertaste.

Nov 28, 2004 33cl bottle, no BBD....slightly sweet Balsamic nose, woody...drinks sweet with an acidic sourness to help get some balance...lingering woodiness. Straightforward beer, not a lot going on, but it is OK...not overly sour, or nearly as much as I’d like...too sweet and too little twang...a bit thin, but cloying body...somehow it reminds me of ketchup.

Nov 25, 2004 Very red in color with a thin, tan head. Aroma of white vinegar (I prefer balsamic). It smells like I am getting ready to dye Easter eggs. There is an underpinning of caramel but not much else. Flavor of Sweet Tart candy, some acidity, and a light caramel. This beer tastes like this breweries’ first atempt at this style. Drain pour.
