| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 21, 2009 2008 bottle shared by ygtbsm94: Pours a transparent dark ruby red with a small ring of bubbles, but mostly still. Aroma of fresh sweet and tart blueberries with a touch of oak and funk. Starts with an oily texture and mild sweetness with good oaky tart balance and blueberry fruitiness before a semi-dry, mild finish. Pretty smooth, but could use more carbonation and tartness. hopscotch (5490), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 1/5 | 8/20 | Nov 20, 2008 Bottle… Murky burnt orange/ruby ale. No head. The aroma is of sour, underripe fruit… a hint of blueberry. Watery with all-but-dead carbonation. Tart, fruity flavor, but nothing of note really stands out. Thin, watery, tart, and then dry finish. I don’t think this one is ever going to fully carbonate. I hope I’m wrong. Cletus (5057), Connecticut, USA
| 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 3/5 | 19/20 | Mar 6, 2008 Thanks to yjb for supplying me with this bottle. Pours deep red with some fizzy white bubbles. Smells of funk, blueberries, brett, oak, dust, some residual sugary hints. Tastes tarte with a load of complimentary blueberries, some sweet touches, an underlying intense dry sourness and hints of oak. This is an amazing beer and I can’t wait to sample the strawberry and blackberry versions.
