Sep 15, 2008 Stum-like beer. Very sour. Aroma of grape & rose wine, balsamic vinegar, red fruits. Aftertaste is burny and soury with grape notes. Carbonated.
I almost wouln’t call it beer because of it resemblence of grape stum.

Sep 14, 2008 Bottle from a local supermarket. Pours a deep red with a thin head. Smells like lemon-lime juice meets big red gum. I love the smell. First sip makes you wonder what this is. Almost wine like with sourness balanced nicely with a light sweet and spicy finish.

Sep 14, 2008 (bottle - corked & caged 750 ml) Murky copper color with a mound of tan foam. Aroma is very sour and winey with lots of hints of grapes, red wine, and some sugar. Flavor is a sour explosion in your mouth with lots of sweetness in the middle and a finish that’s very sour and cloying. Quite nice.

Sep 13, 2008 dark red pour with a nice fluffy white head. Aroma of red wine, balsamic vinegar, and lots of grapes. Flavouris very sour, wow!
Big notes of balsamic vinegar, and grapes, with a touch of sour fruit. Big sour finish, very vinegary. A wicked beer, in the upper echelon of the style.

Sep 9, 2008 A dark red colored beer, with a thick beige foamy head. It disappears quickly. The aroma is sour, oak and some fruits like cherry. The taste is dry sour, woody, dough/bread. Fruits like cherry in the back. It has a sour bitter aftertaste and it is warm and burny.

Sep 6, 2008 Updated: Oct 29, 2009Have grown to love sours since the last time I had this when it caught me a bit off guard. A great sour ale, though for me this seems like a good benchmark for sours. Have had better and have certainly had worse. The way it clings to the palate and the texture is just amazing. I wish they oak aged the entire batch. It is close to excellence but falls a bit short.
