Hazy reddish-brown pour with a light tan head. Awesome aroma of sour and oak...sour cherries and light caramel malt. The flavor held more sourness, bret, tart cherry, some tannins. Sour throughout the medium body with a nice lively carbonation with a sour/woody/dry finish. Sours, especially RR brews continue to allure me, and this one was especially good. MY favorite sour ale, hands down. TampaBrew (844), Tampa, Florida, USA

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!

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | May 26, 2008 Bottle via Lothore. Cloudy amber color. Smell of candy, lemons, tart cherries, oak, spice and minor sharp cheddar cheese. Just smelling this makes my mouth salivate. Taste of sour cherries, wood, oak, nutty, lemons and cedar wood. Excellent! Must have more! msante79 (835), Orland Hills, Illinois, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Oct 15, 2009 375ml bottle from WeeheavySD. Pours brown with orange and gold edges with white head. Aroma is sour as hell with wood, cherries, and some funk. Flavor is tart with some sour cherries, funk, and some wood. This has a lip smacking tartness to it. Really good stuff. I can’t stop licking my lips. Good beer to celebrate my 30th birthday. BlackForestCO (827), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA
| 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Feb 1, 2008 Updated: Jul 31, 2008Batch 002 bottle gracefully shared by Crosling. This beer was even better than I expected. Poured a nice golden-caramel color with a thin tan head that diminished. Rising bubbles and some suspended yeast. Tart, cherry-apple aroma with undertones of oak. Wonderfully complex flavor. Sweet, smooth entry leads into a tart, semi-funky cherry and sweet apple. Oak and yeast flavors become apparent on the finish that continues changing even minutes after you swallow. Drying and semi-puckering. Spectacular, thanks again Nick.

Dry finish that echoes the sweetness.
