[bottle] Lactic, sour fruit aroma. Reddish brown in color, very minimal head formation. Tart, strong fruit flavors, acetic. Cherry and apple certainly come to mind. Very dry, lingering finish.

Semi clear orange amber. Smell is URINE and stinky socks. Weird sour flavor of berries and feet. Gross overall - the smell makes me want to weep it is so awful

Pours lightly clear dark maroon with a short lived head. Smell is sour cheese and feet. Taste is equally as odd with sourness, funky, musty dirty cheese and a foot like flavor. Sweet cheese comes in as well. Unlike any Sour Ale I’ve had before, and I’m glad I didn’t have the entire bottle to myself. Very odd beer.

Jun 27, 2008 Pours a dark brown/reddish color with a short-lived Delicious sour candy aroma with loads of sour green apple, citrusy esters, a bit of cola. Huge fruity, sour candy flavors, (sour patch kids come to mind), green apples, lemon/citrus, and more COLA. I have a hard time remembering that I’m drinking "a beer" when I’m experiencing something like this--very hard not to just guzzle down in an instant. Soft, gently carbonated and velvety smooth mouthfeel. Awesome, amazingly delicious. LIQUID (SOUR) CANDY

Jun 8, 2008 Handbottle from brewandbbq. Pours a hazy reddish-copper color. A small, foamy, cream colored head leaves random micro-spots of lacing behind. Aromas include sour red cherries, vinous red grapes, a touch of muscat sweetness, and some red wine vinegar. The nose really opened up and became softer and less acetic as it warmed. Likewise, the flavor starts with intensely tart red cherries and grapes, with a semi-obtrusive vinegar note present throughout. As it warmed, the vinegar faded, leaving a clean, refreshingly tart, vinous flavor behind. Medium-bodied and very dry, with moderate carbonation, I found the brew to be incredibly drinkable. Very interesting, for sure. I enjoyed this quite a bit despite the vinegar notes that showed early on.

May 29, 2008 From a 22oz Bottle. Transparent, cedar brown coloed pour with a thin layer of off-white head. Aromas of
nutty coconut and caramel greet the nostrils right away. Notes of vinegar, mild wood, and cherry. Fruity and
sour. Light bodied, lightly carbonated mouthfeel with a moderately lactic acidity up front, with flavors that
get increasingly acetic as the palate develops. Flavors of sour cherries and a moderate apple cider acetic note.
Some mildly toasted malt character comes through as well as some fruity apple-laced sugars to balance the
acidity. Very nice beer overall, but never develops enough complexity in the palate or finish to take it to that
next level.
