Jul 28, 2008 Bottled. Brilliant red pour with a pink fizzy head. There is a strong, sweet component in this with apple pie and light oak. Very lively body behind the sweetness makes this almost taste like a soda. There is a nice underlying sourness though that makes this a bit more quenching and balanced. An easy drinker that would be a good introduction to sour beer. And, unlike its cousin Duchesse de Bourgone, this one is actually good on tap as well as bottled.

Jul 28, 2008 Sampled at the Stone Sour Fest. More sweet than sour, but some tartness really came through. Lots and lots of cherry on the aromas and the flavors. Cherry to the end. I mean it. Really. Pretty tasty. Especially if you like Cherry.

Jul 26, 2008 11.2 oz bottle, best by 8/14/09. Pours a clear deep red with a fizzy rose head that retains well and leaves some big bubbled lacing.
The aroma is acidic and tart cherries, wood, yeast and some sweet candy sugar.
The flavor is sweet acidic cherries with a strong tart sour tang to it, a bit of funky yeast and wood show up as well. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and syrupy with a bit of sharp carbonation.
Overall, a fun sour ale - one of the better ones I’ve had. The sweetness and tartness are a bit strong, but I liked this quite a bit.
