Dark burgandy in color with a bubbly tan head.Smell is awesome. Sour apple dominates the nose as well as cherry. It is a bit musky and tart and very complex like a good wine.Very sweet taste at first and it finishes sour. Light malt flavor with hints of cherry, cranberry, and sour apple. Light carbonation and a great taste make this a must try.

First ever sour ale. Not really sure how much I like it. Nice light fruity aroma, some hints of berries and citrus. Mouthfeel is very smooth. Flavor is fruity, with some hints of mellow cheese. I’m just not sure about the sourness...I can’t determine if it complements the beer on my palate or overwhelms it. There also seems to be a lingering heavy sweetness that clings to the palate. Overall, not that impressed with this one.

Poured brownish red with a medium off white head. Aroma of sweet fruits and citrus accompanied by lightly carbonated palate. Tastes of orange rhine with tart fruit and notes of oak.

Delicious sweetness, very earthy, the polar opposite of what I mean with the description of sweet normally. Some sort of dried fruits shine through...fig or prune. Amazing chewiness, once again, oddly in a good way. Excellent mouth feel, with almost a crystallized sugar feel / taste to it.
