Caramel dark fruit nose, hints of tart cherry pie. Beautiful reddish amber hue, medium head that dissipated quickly, tiny bubbles continue to rise like a Champagne. Tart cherry and green apples, slight caramel vanilla hiding under biting sourness. Full body, yet effervescence cuts through. Mouth feel is creamy and finish is tart, complex, and long. This is an excellent sour ale, very complex, thought provoking, and a must try.

Nov 29, 2008 Wonderful green apple and sour cherry aroma starts this beer off. It pours a bright red, with a dusting of off-white head. Very tart flavor, green apple, sour cherries, and a touch of funk. If you like sour beers... this is one to try.

Nov 29, 2008 Tap at the Hop Leaf. Stunning dark color. Aroma of yeast, oak, citrus. Additional flavors that come through are moss and faint hints of vanilla. Reminiscent of Rodenbach Grand Cru.

Nov 20, 2008 [On tap at Hopleaf] This is a great beer! Dark ruby red with a creamy tan thick head. Aroma of tart and sweet cherries, dusty yeast and barrel. Near perfect flavor, tart and sour without being undrinkable, right on the edge, fantastic balance of barrel, cherries, and acid. The finish is really nice and nonabrasive. Medium body with fine carbonation. Fantastic!
