look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

A – Poured in a chalice the color is a burnt red with a nice off white head that dissipates almost immediately. No ring of bubbles was present but there was some lacing on the sides of the glass. You could see a steady stream of carbonation bubbles through the beer for the entire drink.

S – Some oak was present along with some acidic funk. Green apple, grape and maybe some cherry present.

T – Nice acidic sourness to the beer. I got lots of sour grape and maybe even a little cherry in there too.

M – Nice and tart makes you pucker a little bit. Medium bodied with really good carbonation that added to that bite on the tongue. Super dry which is really nice.

O – I tried a homebrew clone of this that won’t be ready for a year so I was super excited to try the 2012 batch. Now I really can’t wait for my clone to be ready!

2013 22oz bottle.

A: Brown/red-ish color with a quickly receding brown head.
S: Super fruity and sweet. Sour cherries, raspberries and maybe a bit of citrus too. Has almost a "jam" aroma. Vinegar and oak in the finish.
T: Opens up pretty tart. Well balanced with the fruity sweetness. Very big fruity taste - sour cherries, orange - followed by a bit of funk. Not too sour, very pleasant. Big oak and slight vinegary taste as it warmed up. Finishes dry.
M: A bit thin and it could have used more carbonation.
O: Great take on the style, I would gladly buy tons of this if it was available. Thanks for this one Tom, glad I was able to try it!
