ON tap at Belmont Station in Portland, OR--Glad I saved the bottle I brought back home from San Diego--Poured a murky hazy brown-orange body with a small whitish head. Sweet fruity (cherry) nose and flavor/palate. Sticky, sharp, carbonic, tart, sour (God, was it sour!) profile. tongue dazzling with liveliness. Not so terrible.

thanks cmubeerman. batch 2 and 3 side by side. Batch 2 is really excellent - sour, funky and tart, lemony. Extremely well balanced and outwardly Russian River. Batch 3 is much more subdued, but still similar. Oily in the mouth, especially when compared to the fresh tartness of batch 2. (batch 2 = 4.3, batch 3 = 3.7). What a fun vertical.

Hazy deep orange color. Wonderfully tart aroma of sour cherry and funk. Sour cherry flavors and slight oakiness come out as it warms. Sour finish that lingers on the tongue. Love it!

Warm orangy amber with a denser small bubbled head. Sourish dry fruity salty yogurty nose. A bit tannic. Some strong cherry. Lighter carbonation, full body. dry tart yogurty fruity cherry. Some biting oaky tannins. A bit salty. Lingering small heat and fruity tannins. Really delightful joy to dirnk.

~Pours a light golden copper color with small white head. ~Scent of sour wine, citrus, oak, and cherries. ~Sour sweet taste. Similar to a cherry sweet tart. Cidery and tart, but not over bearing. ~Light feel, Quick dry finish. ~My first sour ale. I wasn’t sure what to expect. i really enjoyed this one. Wish I would have bought a bottle or two of this one to share.

Poured from the bottle into a goblet. Pours a clearish orangy-brown color with a think wispy white head. Lots of champagne type bubbles that fade quickly. I don’t know if i have ever seen a color like this before, either. WHOA- the smell is pungent. As soon as I open the beer you can get a whiff from across the room. I get a lot of vinegar, some musty red wine, some alcohol and the barnyard as well on the nose. Smell is consistenty strong throughout. Tast is similar. I get the huge pucker of the sour cherries, vinegar etc. right up front. Aftertaste mellows it quite a bit and makes it even more enjoyable. Bit of alcohol on the end. Nice champagne fizz on the mouthfeel. Fairly drinkable for the style- has a lot going on throughout the beer and my mouth is pretty puckered after this one.

37.5 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a lacing white head. Dry and citric fruity aroma. Citric and crisp base flavour with a nice acidic base touch and mild mliky note. Smooth and acidic finish.

Sample @ BCTC 2008. deep orange color. Very funky, earthy, barnyard aroma. Sour, tartness, funky yeastiness, Very acidic & tasty. Very good well worth the long wait at the festival
