j12601 (1151), Poughkeepsie, New York, USA Oct 30, 2009 Bottle at the release of Flaming Fury courtesy of Dennis. Pours a hazy yellow brown. Nice sour acid notes. Vinegar, a touch of acetaldehyde, and some huge acid. Lingering tanginess. yobdoog (1426), Woodridge NY, New York, USA Oct 28, 2009 One of the best sours in a while. Aroma is tart and fruity with some candy and the right amount of vinegar and peaches, plums. Flavor is bright and sour with grape skin, peaches, plums and candy like tartness. Smooth and delicious. tokyogoat (505), San Diego, California, USA Oct 26, 2009 Pours a rusty brown.
Nose is big on vanilla, oak, wine, and funky figs.
Taste is complex, big wine and oak, some tanins, dark fruits, substantially less sour than its competitors at sourfest. Rciesla (3510), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA Oct 25, 2009 Bottle. What a nice brew! Pours a copper gold body with an off white head. Sour grape and cherry notes, funky plum and a vinous body. Chewy toffee with a funky brett character and a tart lush body. This was fantastic! beerbill (1919), Laurel, New York, USA Oct 24, 2009 22 oz. bottle. Thank you to whoever brought this to the Captain Lawrence release today! Pours a cloudy antique gold with an off-white head. Very pleasant, bright, somewhat sour aroma with caramel, butter and oak. The flavor is tart but not excessive along with caramel, vanilla and oak. Nice buttery finish while still retaining some tartness. Very nice beer. As an aside, I cannot get over the quantity and quality of good beer that was shared by everyone at the Captain Lawrence release today. Cheers to all! angrypirate06 (678), Texas, USA Sep 27, 2009 On tap at Stone Sourfest 09. Hazy brown pour. Aroma is vanilla, caramel, wood and bourbon. Flavor is bourbon, vanilla, caramel, oak. Nice syrupy mouthfeel. beerguy101 (3861), Newark, California, USA Sep 20, 2009 Sampled during RBSG 7/10/2009 at the beer dinner. This BSA/sour (?) pours a medium orange gold color from the bottle. Small sized white foamy head. The aroma is tart fruit, tropical and funky. Medium bodied. The malts are fruity and sweet. The hops are citrusy. Bretty, funky and tart, yet balanced with hints of pineapple, pomegranate and ... Nice balance. Good carbonation. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet. wetherel (1565), Encinitas, California, USA Aug 21, 2009 On tap at 2009 Stone Sour Fest. Wow. Excellent. Some maltiness. Medium sourness. Light amber color. Nice brett doctor. Like my homebrew. All lactic.
