Sep 24, 2008 Bottle courtesy of Sparky27 (thanks Eric!). Pours a dirty brown with a small light tan head. Aroma of tart sweettart candies and earthiness. Very reminiscent of Rodenbach Grand Cru. Flavor of tartness with a pinch of vinegar and oddly for a 6%, a slight alcohol tinge. Acidic but decently drinkable. This is a pretty good sour, but not quite there in the flavor department (compared to the best sours that is).

Sep 13, 2008 750ml bottle. Pours a cloudy reddish brown color with an almost yellow head to it. Nice earthy tart aroma to it. Flavor on this thing is amazing! It is so complex with hints of oak, apple and even a little vinegar. The sourness is perfect. It’s not too harsh but it has enough to it. I love this beer, and there is a reason why it has won so many medals.

Sep 10, 2008 On tap at 515 in Santa Cruz. Poured into a snifter. Hazy opaque saffron with a nebulous white head that leaves spotty wet lacing. Aromas of peppery alcohol, limoncello, citrus zest, pinot noir. Flavors of caramel apple sweetness, green apple skin, fruity jammy wininess, and acetic sourness, with a dry oaky finish. Sharp mouthfeel with modest carbonation. Awesome complexity.

Sep 5, 2008 Bottle: (Thanks BlackForestCO!) Pours a cloudy burgundy with a khaki head. The aroma is earthy and very acetic. Strong vinegar, very mild cocoa notes, raspberry tartness, oak and some bretty funk of leather. Silky body feel, with a very strong acetic character in the flavor- assertive and sharp with sour cherry skin and plenty of funk. Has notes of leather and lemony acidity, and soft oak. when it warms just a touch of dark malt peek through giving it just the slightest nuance of cocoa. A nice sour!

Sep 2, 2008 2008 vintage- pours a muddy deep rust colour with a vigorous initial head with excellent lacing. Nose- sweet cherries, wood, green apples and tart citrus. Taste- extremely tart and mouth puckering. Cherry taste doesn’t overpower- well blended earthy malts, horseblanket, minerals, lemon rinds. Finish is very woody and dry. Drinkability is very good with medium to high carbonation.
