One of my new favorites. Pours a brownish color with a red tint. Aroma is dusty and fruity, with a nice berry sourness. Flavors continue, with a mustiness and extreme sourness of sweet berries and apples and a little oak. This beer is fantastic. daknole (3027), Scottsdale, Arizona, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 6, 2009 2008 bottle shared by a great guy named Brent at Brother Tuckers. pours a nice brown color with a good off white head. Aroma is very complex and quite nice. I got some tart apples, cherries, some yeast, lemons, red wine vinegar, funk and some wet wood. Flavor is sour as hell, like a really good cabernet vinegar. I taste some woody notes, chirries, raspberries and nice earthy tones. For a beer this sour I actually enjoyed it more than I would have imagined. Yikes. What am I saying??? unclemike (833), Ft.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 5, 2009 batch 109- 1946 This poured a gorgeous red brown with a towering whitish head. Tons of bubbles. The head gently subsided though leaving a thin layer that stuck around through most of the glass. Aroma of green apples, cherries, brett and wood. The flavor of this was just fantastic: sour, tart, smooth oakiness. It just wrapped itself around your mouth: bubbly, and dry enough not to be cloying at all. Glad for the advice to drink this fresh!

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 5, 2009 750 ml bottle courtesy of a trade with beastiefan2k and shared with my wife. Pours a dark brown with hues of deep purple and red. Moderate tan head that lasted through the first third of the glass. Very pleasant aroma of tart apples and sour cherry along with some oak. The flavor is very lovely with again tart apples and sour cherry along with very good red wine vinegar and some oak. There is just a hint of caramel sweetness well hidden in the background that surfaces every now and again. Bright and dry towards the finish. A thoroughly enjoyable beer from start to finish.
