| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 30, 2009 Large Bottle. Pours an amber/brown color. Has quite a bit of carbonation, accidentally dropping this one resulted in over half the beer shooting into the sky. As such my review might be a little shaken. Get it? wakka wakka wakka! Very carbonated, tasting of fruit and cherries. ditmier (1110), Boise, Idaho, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 24, 2009 Poured hazy with the color of cherry wood and a huge head that went over the glass and onto the floor. The aroma was tart and woody like. Smoke/phenolic notes. Tart flavor with a light cherry taste. Again seems to have some wood in it. Light body. pnista (1008), Bloomington, Indiana, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 11, 2009 Reddish brown with a thin light tan head, thinning over time. Fruit malty sort of sweetness in a light grape nose. Lower body but reasonable carbonation makes it creamy enough. Sweeter malt. Alcohol. Lacto, perhaps. Light grape. Astringent. Light vanilla. Some acidity. I was told by others in attendance that this was better than they remembered, so perhaps time was kind to it? alexsdad06 (1099), Ohio, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 1, 2009 Bottle shared by Tmoney99. Pours a dark hazy reddish brown color with a large fizzy beige head. The aroma is acidic, sour cherries, berries, brown sugar, citrus and a little yeast funk. The flavor is not so much sour as acidic and tart. Cherry and lemon citrus, caramel, brown sugar, and alcohol. This has strong carbonation and medium mouthfeel. A strange brew indeed.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 30, 2008 Murky deep orange-brown body, medium buff/tan, persistent, clumping head. Tangy, tart nose, like cranberries or cranberry sauce. Tart, sharply carbonated body, with grape or raisin notes, toast, and spice. Not especially funky or sour. Smooth, quaffable. Pretty good.

Dark brown pour, not what I expected at all, very big off white head, lots of carbonation. Dry aroma, slightly metalic. Sweet and sour flavor, slightly acidic, but very drinkable. Decent stuff, glad I tried it. Lip smacker dalekliz (546), San Diego, California, USA
