11/12/11 bottle courtesy of the awesome trader, mrbubbler. Thanks man!!
Appearance. Pours a deep rose-gold colour with some haze and a half finger of off-white/pinkish head that doesn't last long.
Smell. Nice sweet funk, sour cherries, sweet raspberries and barrel wood. Yum!
Taste. Lots of nice dry woody brett funk!! Medium sourness and plenty of tart raspberry and cherry flavours with a small hit of bitter funky wood in the finish. Nice.
Mouthfeel. Below medium body, medium-low fairly lively and fine carbonation.
Overall. A fine fruited sour beer with plenty of tasty brett. Very enjoyable.

Mix of orange and red color, obvious cherry influence on the color of the beer. Thin head, off white.
Aroma is plenty tart, tart sour cherries, raspberries, oak barrel, wine influence and slight bretty funk.
Taste, somewhere crossing the line between flanders red and american wild, this one has more sourness, more acidic, more oomph going for it flavor wise. Very similar to Oude Tart. Like a flanders, but with more sour kick and body substance. Pretty dry with the red wine tannins hitting on all cylinders.
Coolest thing about this beer, it isn't overly complex, but the beer has the right proportion of funk, oak, fruit and sourness to where no one thing dominates. Never noticed the alcohol was so high (9%) on this one, wow, this really covers that up quite well. Good carbonation probably makes it seem a little lighter and easier to drink without getting bogged down in the alcohol.
Drinks well with the song "Lolita" from the band Red Meat.
