Big Thanks to TomDecapolis for sharing this bomber. Pours almost muddled rusty amber with a thin head. Aroma is slightly acidic, also some green apple acetaldehyde, musty strawberry, tart green aplle skin, light acetic acid and vinegar, with an oxidized caramel malt sweetness which reminded me of Veritas 003 a bit which we had in the same night. Fruity acetic flavor, almsot like rspberries, old musty barn and farmhouse, pedio- cherry pie character and sournes in the end which was more like the cuvee de tomme (batch 1). Has some residual body and could become a bit more sour as it ages.

Jul 28, 2008 Stone Sourfest. Pours dark brown. Sweet flavor with a tart follow up. Not the best sour i’ve ever had but not a bad beer by any means.

Jul 28, 2008 Sampled at the Stone Sour Fest. Sour from the beginning. Aromas were tart fruit, grapes, cherry, berry. Flavors were similar with an acidic finish. Some wood flavors mixed in there too. Good stuff.

Jul 22, 2008 Muddy chestnut brown with just a small island of bubbles settling on top. Nose was interesting nothing other than Kalamata olives with some dark woody accents...which at that point, I wasn’t sure I liked until had a taste of the beer...Uniquely thin bodied vinous flavors, sweet grapes at the start but ending on a dry note. This beer was as clean as clean can be from first sip to the very finish...not a single off flavor floating around anywhere. My only potential issue was that it might be a tad too thin and one dimensional but on the other hand, that just may be the appeal.

Jul 22, 2008 Sampled at the Second Anual Stone Sour Festival on 7/20/2008. Worthy of the two tickets. Very nice sour ale. Flavors of tart crab apple and cherries. One of my favorites.

Jul 21, 2008 Rating # 900! Tap @ Stone Sour Fest 2008. One of the better sours at the fest. Pours a hazed medium brown with a thin off white ring. Nose of tart berry fruits, flavor was a strange but awesome combo of tart cherries and strawberries with some oak and chocolate.
