Jan 11, 2009 On tap at O’Brien’s Pub 14th Anniversary Barrel-Aged beer night 1/15.
A- Pours a red orange hue, thin off-white head dissipates, moderate lacing
S- Tart fruits, hints of cherries, wild yeast, grass/earth tones, a range of other fruits and wood
T- Initial taste is full of sour and tart fruits, followed by grass, oak, and wild yeast funk, finishes dry and sour
M- Medium-bodied, smooth watery texture, high carbonation
D- This is a very tart wild ale with great balance and flavor, easily my favorite BA beer of the night, I could drink this all night long and would love to get some more in trade. . .

Jan 1, 2009 Bottle. Big thanks to golubj. Poured a nice looking brownish amber, and it was quite murky. Off white head. Aroma of fruit, cherry, wood, sourness, must and light funk. Very nice. Flavor had a plethora of blended flavors. Fruit, cherries, wine predominate; with some wood, earth and funk. Very tart.

Dec 28, 2008 Taster – 2008 Great Salt Lake Festivus – Beer Session – Was not sure what I was tasting with all the flavors from this beer. Oak, fruit, and even some good Belgian yeast this beer had it all. Sour, and fantastic. A terrific beer for Toronado and Russian River. A must try if ever you get the chance.

Dec 28, 2008 750 ml bottle via trade with Irishboy some time ago - I actually drank this beer back in May. Now Im adding some old ratings. Pours a hazy deep amber color with a 3/4 finger thick off white head. Light spotty lacing. Aroma is cherry esters and light oak. Flavor is tart esters and light oak. Palate is tart and the esters linger a bit. Medium body. Im not a big Sour ale fan, but this was nice. Thanks Richard.

Dec 24, 2008 Bottle thanks to Eric, drank at his Christmas party. Pours a very cloudy apricot color with a thick bubbly white head. The aroma is sour, woody, and vinous. The flavor is very, very complex, yeast, tart citrus, a dry fizzy mouthfeel, lightly sour. Very vinous and tasty, the sweetness from the dark ale stands out also. The funky Brett and wine barrel mix together in harmony. Excellent.

Oct 26, 2008 2008-10-22. Lightly hazy dark amber body with a decent sized beige head. Aroma is lovely, fruit, light but persistent funk, lemon/pineapple melange. Modest sourness throughout, fruit, tart sour versions of the fruit in the aroma. Refreshing, pleasant nuance. Rather good. Pretty awesome, very balanced, just very drinkable.
