May 25, 2008 On tap from PP C-Bad. Brown amber color with a thin white head. Aromas of yeast and tartness. Very luscious and smooth with a medium body in your mouth. Flavors of some maltiness and tart sour cherry and apple. Great long easy finish without being over the top. Great beer for sure.

May 19, 2008 Intoxicating aromas of mashed sour cherries, pie crust and some lovely spices. Aggressive on the tongue. An immediate shot of raw brown sugar mellowing to a tart cherri and finally to a cherry pie reminicent of the aromatic picture!
I’ll have another!

May 13, 2008 Bottle 12629; 11/07: Courtesy of mgumby10, big thanks Mike. Murky, puddle-water color with a small cream head. Very intense aroma...light fruits, dark malts, oak and the acidity was very well represented but not in a vinegar kind of way. There also seemed to be a subtle earthiness representation noted as well. First taste led to a mouth puckering, tart body with almost nothing else to note...this led to the following tastes where the beauty of this comes through. The sour aspect is there but works with the rest of the brew, instead of against it...some of the dark malts come through with some rhubarb and dark tea leaves. Unbelievable brew.

May 10, 2008 Updated: May 11, 200804 bottle. Thanks 7up2liter. Pours an orange brown with a thin white head. Crusty vag aroma, some vinegar, some paint thinner. Barnyard flavor, some vinegar, a few bits of aids. Kind of reminds me of chewing on a horses tail while it shits in my mouth. finishes extremely sour, refreshing.

May 9, 2008 Uber thanks to BDR for sharing this mana. Murky brown color with a very tall head that quickly collapses to nothing. Outstanding aroma of sweet, sour and tart cherries. Some oak and yeast, as well as toasted pie crust. The cherries merge into a primarily tart flavor. Plenty of oak and vanilla. Lots of sugar (brown, candi) and caramel. Very heavily carbonated. Pure, unadulterated deliciousness.

May 3, 2008 Finally, a decent beer from New Belgium. Bottle I’ve had for a couple months, let warm for about 10-15 minutes. Sour/vinegar aroma overpowers the fruit/sweet quite a bit. Little head with rich brown color and some sediment, not much. Immediate sour with cherries and a kind of smoky wood flavor.
