Nov 7, 2007 Updated: Dec 28, 2007GABF 2006-Tart cherries & oak aroma. Taste is tart at first with sour cherries followed by brett (horseblanket), finishes dry. 7/3/7/3/17
#002 Bottle. Thanks John. Wonderful tart cherry, wood, lacto, all in perfect harmony and just beautiful. Cherry, wood, vanilla, nice tartness and fruitiness. The flavor is well integrated, no flavors overpower any other. Score went up quite a bit.

Nov 5, 2007 Had at Logan’s Oceanside beer tasting with AlohaC, and Hair, and Matt, and Ken, Jeff, Colleen, Bill, and others. A real pleasure to try this gem. I’ve been very eager to get a hold of a bottle. I’ve seen it at two other tastings, but didn’t get to try it for one reason or another. Very small sample. Great, great sour cherry aroma. Sourness is mild. Light red color. Tempted to bring my rating up, but 4.5 is pretty high.

Nov 3, 2007 Red-orange in colour with a few floaties, and strong carbonation. Aromas of mild sour cherries, old wood, balsamic, and leather. Intense sourness blends seamlessly with the mild fruit (cherry and a bit of citrus) and light malt flavors. More oak in the mouth too. Tart finish. Fantastic stuff. Huge thanks to oakbluff for sharing this one.

Oct 28, 2007 Updated: Feb 20, 2008Thanks to grbdg for sharing! Pour is dark plum and hazy. Nice initial head fades to a small white ring around the glass. Aroma is funky yeast, cherries and citrus...i get some lemon. Very sour with, again, a sour cherry quality. Good body and mouthfeel. Like this more every time I get a chance to drink one.

Oct 22, 2007 bottle (batch 002)....lost my notes on this one but i know i enjoyed this one immensely. overall impression: awesome cherry tartness and the brett added a favorable sourness funk that added more to the character of this ale. level of acidity and carbonation was perfectly matching to the aforermentioned qualities of this brew.

Oct 19, 2007 GABF ’07. Pours hazy tawny with an average, frothy, off-white head, lasting with good lacing. Aroma is average malt (bread, caramel, hay, straw), average hops (flowers, citrus), average yeast (earth) with notes of cherries. Medium bodied, sticky texture, average carbonation, and a bitter finish. Average duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity and bitterness.

Oct 12, 2007 Sour and tart aroma. Mouthfeel is sour and tickling. Vinegar, cherries, wood, some mild "horse", warming finish. Very satisfying beer.
