Oct 7, 2009 On Tap at Taps during the grand opening as well. Deep ruby color. Intense vinegar aromas I found to be intolerable. Overwhelming any other aspects of the beer. Very light bodied with low carbonation. I absolutely love sour beers, but this came across too musty. I forced down a couple more sips before rendering it virtually undrinkable. I would not drink this again. Sour is one thing, tart is another. Vinegar is for fish & chips not for beer. Many apologies to Brian Hunt, I usually love all his beers.

Oct 2, 2009 On tap at Taps during the grand opening. Sour hop taste a bit too much and brought down the palate for me. Still, sours do it for me, so I was satisfied after a long week.

Feb 10, 2009 Pours a bright golden with a spicy and sour nose. The flavor has a big hop front that subsides to a citrus tart mid to finish. Decent lasting finish.

Jul 28, 2008 Stone Sourfest. Big malt vinegar flavor which burned my throat. I like it. Very spicy. Would drink again.

Jul 26, 2008 On-tap at Stone Sour Fest. Before I tried this one someone told me it reminded them of Salt and Vinegar Potatoe chips. They were right. Pours orangish brown with a thin offwhite head, some lace. Smells sour with a lot of vinegar. Tastes hoppy and malty with huge, sour, salty vinegar flavors as well. Nice. I wonder if it’s the hops and the brett mixing to make all the salt and vinegar flavor. Medium, dry body with good carbonation.

Jul 21, 2008 Last taster @ Stone Sour Fest 2008. Poured a hazy amber with a reddish tint. Aromas of red wine, tart cherries and oak. By now my palate was done for, I think I tasted oak and something sour.......haha.....no more sours for me for a while.

Feb 18, 2008 Tap @ O’Briens: Poured a deep ruby color with an off-white head. Tart aroma with light vinegar notes. Fruity aroma as well. The flavor had some sweet fruity malt to start. The middle was tart and the finish was acidic. Stiff woody/tannic finish. Light to medium body.
