yobdoog (1426), Woodridge NY, New York, USA Sep 10, 2009 Bottle. Dark color with a small head. Aroma is sweet, malty, touch of tartness, brett funk and wood. Flavor is similar, very dry and a little sour and sweet. puzzl (2579), New York, New York, USA Aug 3, 2009 Tap at the Blind Tiger. 2006. No head. Tart grape, and lots of oak aroma. Lightly buttery, slick, vanilla. Sour cherry flavor that is very lactic. No brett here, just pure oaky sour. This is a far more succesful sour (unintentionally) than their direct attempt called Moaten. zapprentice (309), East Setauket, New York, USA Aug 2, 2009 Tap at Blind Tiger. Aroma is of sourness with some slight sweeter fruits. Flavor is sour with candy sugars and some citrus fruits. Leighton (234), New York, New York, USA Aug 2, 2009 This was a funky beer. It was certainly a unique beer but the flavors simply didn’t do a lot for me. It’s just a preference thing. I had thisbeer on tap at Blind Tiger. It poured a deep,dark brown and had a thick consistency nearing the syrup realm. Flavor was sour, or tart, and smacked of cherries and malt. The sourness really took me by surprise. A truly interesting taste. I would like to try this beer again to see how I respond a second time. fredandboboflo (1395), East Setauket, New York, USA Aug 1, 2009 Tap at BT. Aroma of grape, plum, raisin bread maltiness. Flavor is increasingly cherry along with the other dark fruits with a honey sweetness and a dry fruit sourness as spices increasingly assert themselves to compete with the almost sugary honey presence. Quite interesting. LilBeerDoctor (1480), East Setauket, New York, USA Jul 31, 2009 On tap at Blind Tiger. Pours a dark brown, almost black, with no head. Aroma of light sourness and sour candies. Flavor is very sour, with barnyard and yogurt notes. This tasted much more like a sour ale than a saison (I guess because of the brett). It was decent and drinkable but not very complex.
7/4/7/4/14 (3.6/5) italarican (157), Astoria, New York, USA Jul 30, 2009 Draft at Blind Tiger. Pour is a surprisingly purplish brown with little head to speak of. Initial aroma of diet coke, but as it opens up, more cherry and strawberry comes through. Flavor is similar to the aroma: some tart fruit with a background of diet coke. Fades off the palate quickly. Frankly, this was weird, but I sort of dig it. Saarlander (1577), Saarlouis, Germany Jun 21, 2009 Slight brown pour, small head, Fruit, slight funk,sweetness, could have had better flavor, not bad, but just lacking in what was expected,ok
