Feb 2, 2008 Draught @ the Dilly Deli. Pours a deep ruby red color with a large frothy off white head. The aroma is vinous in character with cherry also being present. It seems to have an acidic sourness as well. The flavor is sweet fruits like cherry and cranberry. Tart and almost vinegar like quality as well. There is some malt to try and back all this up. Interesting and enjoyable.

Feb 2, 2008 A very geographically mountainous head on this pour. Lots of foam. Smells like a holy church. You know that smell? The taste is of soured malt, with a long lasting sour malt aftertaste that is metallic as well and I got this in a bottle. The beer is dark brown, opaque, with red tint. A different experience.

Feb 2, 2008 Bottle, aged and thanks to EDA. Light brown pour with some head. Aroma is funky, earthy / sour cherries. The flavor is the same, light sourness, a little vinegar, but also some sweet cherry flavor. Pretty good.

Feb 1, 2008 Raspberry brown pour with little bubbles around the ring pretending to be a head. Sweet, with a sour cherry nose and that aroma of turned red wine. Strawberry and cherry sweetness with nice bubbles on the palate. Quick, somewhat drying finish with oaky notes.

Feb 1, 2008 Updated: Aug 11, 200911.2 oz. bottle bb. 1/30/09 poured into a snifter has a dark cherry red color with steady slow carbination and a thick frothy one finger light tan head. aroma has tart cherry, light alcohol, plenty of sour funk, and a little wood. mouth feel is light and bubbly with a champagne like quality. flavors start with tart cherry, sweetness, and some nice wood character. has a lot of lambic like qualities but totally different at the same time. warms a bit to reveal more fruit and raisin and finishes so smoothly with a distinct dry taste. leaves my mouth watering for another sip and becomes more complex as it goes down.

Jan 31, 2008 11.2 fl oz bottle from KAggie97, best before date 01-02-09. Pour is reddish-brown, clear, with some orange highlights. Nice off-white head. Aroma of sour, tart cherries and some earthy barnyard notes. Taste is initially sweet / tart cherry fruit, but quickly moves into more of an oaky raisin maltiness. Many layers of flavor to this beer, very nice. Medium body, turns a bit watery on the finish. Thanks Kevin!

Jan 29, 2008 Tart cherry aroma experienced after the dark red pour. Decent head. Initial taste seems sweet at first, but finishes with a pleasant tartness. Enjoyable

Jan 26, 2008 Poured into a snifter at The Red in Santa Cruz. Color is a mix between quadrupel brown and cherry red. Decent head for a style characterized by acidity.
Oak, brett, vinegar, cherry in the aroma.
Nice red fruit sweetness is decapitated by an exquisite tartness and vinaigrette bite that puckers every corner of the mouth. Some oak and grape skin.
Thin bodied, dry, effervescent, and smooth. The only fault is that the sharpness is best in small doses, reducing the drinkability to me.
