TampaBrew (746), Tampa, Florida, USA Jun 22, 2009 5L (i think??) bottle poured by Vinnie at NHC pro brewer night. Poured a deep yellow color. Nose is a fruity sourness, some wood, and a ton of cherries. Flavor is sour cherry, some wine, acidic vinegary notes. Nicely carbonated, dry and sour! Beauty! Bradrcr (778), Renton, Washington, USA Jun 19, 2009 6/18/09 from magnum. Aroma is rich, spritzy honey with more sweetness than sourness. Appearance is hazy tan with a moderate maintained white head. Flavor is more sour but very well balanced. Mouthfeel is moderate bodies with a medium high carb feel. GandGKevin (183), Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA Jun 13, 2009 Bottle Batch 003. Sour cherry flavors dance on the palate with a slightly acidic finish. To sum it up in a word...delicious! FrancoisMtl (61), Boisbriand, Quebec, Canada Jun 7, 2009 Bottle from Pantanap. Batch 002. Pours amber orange color with thin white head. Aroma is mainly of sour cherries. It tastes quite sour with oak and cherry flavors. I enjoyed it very much. Thanks Kan! bitbucket (2026), Kirkland, Washington, USA Jun 1, 2009 Pours clear orange amber with a lacy white head. Sour cherry aroma. Oaky sour cherry taste. I take back all the bad things I’ve said about aging beer in Pinot Noir barrels. This stuff is great! JoeinUccle (902), Brussels, Belgium May 30, 2009 Bottle pours a dark orange-amber, with thick, pillowy beige head. Nose of sour cherries, chocolate, caramel, black tea, oak, pralines. Drinks with a juicy sourness, just a touch of fruity sweetness in back of the throat. Light-bodied and well attenuated with certain lambic leanings. Cherry aroma is notable but subdued. Mouthfeel only lightly lively. Goes a little dry but I wish it was drier. Overall it’s terrific, tart, and begs for serious consideration and serious cheese. skortila (2875), Bunnik, Netherlands May 30, 2009 Bottled @ Olfestival 09 pre-tasting. Aroma is quite fruity with orange and cherry. Has some wood. and tartness in it. Hazy, orange brown coloured with not much head. The taste is sour, bit tart, has the wood again and the fruitiness. There is some sweet orange maltiness lingering through the taste of the beer like a river. Has some carbation and a decent body. This is a truly remarkable and enjoyable beer. snakeoilpete (324), Seattle, Washington, USA May 29, 2009 On tap at Brouwer’s Sour Fest. Pours clear orange amber with a nice off-white head. Slightly funky, tart cherry/oak all the way through. Good stuff, but straightforward enough that it was eclipsed by some others for me at the Fest.
