Jan 17, 2008 Draft at O’briens. What a great looking and tasty beer. I enjoyed the sour flavors and want to try more from this brewery.

Jan 17, 2008 Draft at O’Brien’s. Ruby Color with not much head. Aromas were sour cheer and raspberry. Flavor was much more sour than the aroma had prepared me for. More cherry and other bright fruits. Very tasty. One of the favorites of the night.

Jan 17, 2008 Dark red color. Lacto-sour smell. Smells like it will be slick and sour. Pretty nice. Sour, but not over the top. I like it.

Aug 17, 2007 Draft. Slightly hazy ruby beer with a cream colored head. Vinegary, woodsy aroma. Acetic, vinegary flavor with malt backing. Nice sourness, but becomes surprisingly smooth with lingering malt sweetness. Medium body. Although smoothless lingers, there’s still a longer acetic bite. Much better than to the 20-to-life.

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.

Aug 20, 2007 Draft @ Toronado. Murky garnet color with only a slight lacing around the glass. Big lactic aroma with some vanillan and malt notes. The base beer is very evident in this brew, it’s pretty cool. Malty with a smooth sourness. The flavor is fairly lactic as well.

Sep 14, 2007 In a fancy tulip glass at the Toronado. Nice and sour. Very dry and drinkable. Dave’s right - the base beer is evident in this beer, which works with it really well. I really enjoyed this beer. The guy next to me at the bar told me that Brian made this with a wild yeast strain that was running around the brewery, and captured it in some old towels(?). Same guy told me this was about 8% alcohol. If it was, it hit it well. Great stories either way, whether or not they’re true. Apparently there’s a 90 to life out there coming soon? Sounds great to me. Thanks Brian, you’re awesome.
