Sep 28, 2009 There were few large bottles of this at Logan’s pre-GABF party. I had several samples trying to figure it out. Pour is a dead flat muddled brown. Aroma is big citrus fruit, dried fruit sweetness, pine juniper and a decent amount of alcohol. The taste is quite arresting, tasted liked soured prune juice, mixed with tart sweet cranberry juice, mixed with pine needles and a shot of grain alcohol to finish it off. Also some chocolate notes. Palate is as flat as the appearance, with alcohol coming through strong. I am VERY inexperienced rater of Gruits, but this one did little for me..

Sep 27, 2009 Bottle shared at Logan’s pre-GABF party. Brown pour. Citrusy and sour aromas. Sour flavor. I really didn’t know what to make of this beer and it really deserves a better, more in-depth review than I am able to give it from the sample I tried. But it was truly remarkable.
