Jul 9, 2009 For a "young" beer this really has flavor. Edging toward sour and tart but not too much. Easy to drink. Sampled at the Bruery’s One year anniversary party.

May 23, 2009 Last of the keg from the Anniversary Party. Pours with a huge khaki head over a hazed to murky amber body with sediment. Aroam is rich and has winter spices, sourness, bakery, persimmons, wood, and caramel. Taste is nice and tart, with vanilla oak, a decent amount of residual sweetness and a nice fruitiness. Lively carbonation with a dryish mouthfeel.

May 19, 2009 Draught at The Bruery’s anniversary. Red-brown with a big head. Rich spicy and tart apple aroma. On the malty side for a sour, with a nice spice, light tartness, apple skin, and a medium bitter finish. Medium-light bodied with medium carbonation. Not very sour at this point, but has a nice malty and spicy balance.

May 18, 2009 On tap at the anniversary party. Pours a light reddish brown with a small white head. Aroma is tart and oaky with some fresh fruits but very mild. Flavor is mellow sour and more wood. Very light on flavor and could use a good dose of funk. I guess "young" is the key word. Light on the palate and refreshing.

May 17, 2009 On tap at The Bruery’s 1st Anniversary party. Mild sour with some funkiness developing. Tart fruits, grapes and some oak. This will be a very fine beer in time.

May 17, 2009 On tap at The Bruery’s 1st Anniversary party, "young" is the operative word for this beer. Just a bit of sourness and funk, this one needs some time.
