| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 28, 2008 Sampled at the Stone Sour Fest. Some sourness on the aromas, but the flavor was sweeter than I had expected. Lots of cherry and some grape flavors. Pretty darn tasty. DaSilky1 (1999), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 22, 2008 dark brown/red beer, the american version of kriek colored, i guess...with a spotty white head. Thick cherry notes in the nose but lacking any pronounced sour/funk aromas...rather sweet smelling than anything else. Sourness is pretty strong at the front of the tongue though but the sweetness is there as well, backing it equally. Funk is missing here, and unfortunately, the sourness quickly fades to straight graininess. This is a big no/no in my sour ale book. Graininess is like a girl using her teeth during a blowjob. Its cool that your drinking a sour ale (getting a blow job) but it really sucks that you get a teeth scraping against your cock over and over again...but you just stick with it anyway. Shit. In sum, it had promise to begin with but the overly sweet character and the quick rising grainy character kills it in the end. Snojerk321 (2002), San Diego, California, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 21, 2008 Tap @ 2nd Annual Stone Sour Fest. Pours brown with a bright white head. Nose is acidic and sour. Taste of sweet and sour cherry with some rye in there as well, where did that rye come from ? hopscotch (5507), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 17, 2008 Bottle… Murky, caramel-colored ale with a small, off-white head. The aroma is a sweet/tart mishmash of cherries, graham, brown sugar and caramel. Medium to full-bodied and astringent with spritzy carbonation. Acidic and fruity with sufficient bitterness to afford balance. Fruity, tangy, bone-dry finish. Kudos to SoLan for sharing his stash!
