Mar 27, 2009 12 0z bottle from the Utah State Wine Store. Pours a ruby hue with a small white head that down to nothing. The aroma is quite nice; sour grapes, light yeast and sweet strawberries. The flavor was also nice; a sourness pervades the drink, not a acidic sourness but a wine like sourness,very nice. Yeast, sweet candies, sweeter fruits, and a light body round it out. A really nice beer and quite a nice surprise.

Mar 26, 2009 12 oz bottle. Interested in this after a friend tried it and said it was decent. Pours a dark reddish color with a small off white head that disappates quickly. Smells of a little bit of hops, a lot of raisins (and other dried fruit), and some caramel malt. Tastes of raisins and caramel, but with very little hop presence. Has a little bit of an alcohol bite (though only 9%), but otherwise quite smooth. Pretty good, but nothing special.

Mar 25, 2009 Bottle. Poured blood red/brown with thick off white head. Pleasant aroma of caramel, banana, cloves and malt. Moderate malty flavour with some caramel, candied fruit and malt. Peppery finish with an unpleasant alcohol burn. Still when you find this, drink it.

Mar 19, 2009 Initially I found a plum-like fruitiness with round, sweet malts in the nose but this was undercut by a sour cherry-like acidity. Clear ruby brown body is topped by a generous if large-bubbled tan head that recedes rapidly to a partial cover. Flavour offers a nice blend of malt sweetness and fruity esters with a bit of acidity that puckers the cheeks a bit. Medium body is surprisingly light perhaps due to very strong carbonation that is a touch too prickly. Tulip glass. Cellar temperature. Bottle purchased at Bottleworks in Aug-08.
