Apr 22, 2008 Updated: Jul 8, 2008This is a serious sour ale, incredibly tart and funky. On the whole it’s a wonderful beer, but the pinot noir aging lent a different character I wasn’t as sure about. Great stuff, though.

Apr 19, 2008 Bottle batch 003. I’m new to sours and not really sure what to expect but this was very tart and acidic. It was almost too tart at the beginning but as it warmed up it mellowed greatly and became much more drinkable. The cherries were very noticeable. Different, but right now I would not buy again

Apr 19, 2008 Pourts an attractive clear copper color with surprisingly, a two finger bubbly head. Nose is tart fruits and telltale brett funk. The flavor is really complex, with the funk leading the way along with a very tart influence, but as it mellows, a smooth sweetness takes over and continues to evolve. A very unique ale that’s lively on the palate. Very nice and mellow finish and aftertaste.

Apr 18, 2008 Bottle from the recent batch via RR. Aroma is tart like cherry pie, color is orange and amber. Flavor is huge and sour. I’m new to sours, so I’m not fully in the know with these style. It is very unique and the tart sour flavor lasts a long time. I don’t know what kind of food this might pair with, maybe some pungent cheeses or.....
I need to grow my palate to learn more of the sour beer vibe.
