Bottle - 2014 edition. Pours clear burgundy, quite beautiful actually, small tan head that dissipates quickly with some residual lacing. Aroma is oaky, vinous and fruity with tart cherry notes. Flavor is quite fruity up front, perhaps blueberry, oaky, starts lightly sweet but quickly dries out to a medium tartness. Finish is tart with light oaky astringency. Medium body. Nice beer, but I must say it is better before it warms up, oddly enough.

Draft at Thirsty Monk during RBWG 2014 - Asheville. Pours clear, deep gold with a creamy, white head. Citric lemon aroma. Light sweet flavor with punchy tartness, lactic twang, tart lemons. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Good tart berry finish with lingering lactic funk. Not bad.

Sample from 2012 bottle (#15) at the Ale Wine & Spirits beer tasting on 10/24/2013: The beer is a cloudy reddish-brown color with a medium white head that diminishes gradually to a film. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Cherry, oak and yeast in the nose. Medium-bodied with a moderately tart black cherry character and notes of earthy malt, oak and slight vinegar. The finish is tart with a fruity aftertaste. Pretty good all around.

Way too expensive. $12 for a glass at bocktown. Yes, very similar tot he last blue sunday I had a couple of years ago. Tart, but with a bitter backnote. Smells pretty good and overall this is not a bad sour but I really had a hard time with it once I got my bill. I could have got a sixpack of mixed micros for what I paid for this. Ii wish they would tell you the price before you order, that’s the only drawback at bocktown. Shucks, I paid much less than that for a liter bottle a little while ago.

I apologize Brian, my wife popped this open and gave it to me when I asked for another beer, drat! From a purple label bottle. Pour is dark brown with hints of tartness in the aroma. Smell is almost like some cantillons I’ve had. Yes quite tart on the first taste but not over the top. Does have some fruit in the background. You would never know this stuff is near 9%. Some sizzly co2 in there. Easy going with a little bite but that sour flavor keeps poking thru, again, it is not over the top in sourness; its just the right amount to keep your attention. Finish is not a big sour jingling, its more laid back and it leaves just a tad of medicinal feel to it, just barely. Yesserie. goes down way too easy for a high alky beer. Uh huh, alarmingly hides alky well, except for that hint on the finsh.

2013 vintage Bottle from Food and Friends in Philly. Pours a crystal clear reddish brown with a decent sized tan head that slowly dissipates to a cap on top. Funk and oak permeate from the glass as soon as the cap gets cracked. Vanilla, lemons, sour cherries, brown sugar, and a hint of balsamic round out the nose nicely. The flavor is tart lemony acid. There’s a brief sugary sweetness up front that quickly gets swallowed by lemons tart cherries mouth puckering lactic and carbonic acid abounds. The finish is fairly dry with a sharp lingering tartness. Very little of the oak or brett funk survives into the flavor. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a tart sharp mouthfeel. This smells wonderful but the taste is bracingly tart. I enjoyed it like munching on sour patch kids, but on the plus side I forgot how hot it was while I was drinking this.

Draft at Whole Foods Glen Allen, VA. Pours a hazy amber color with a large creamy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of tart fruits and a mild bit of funk. The taste is tart fruits, earth, mild funk. Medium bodied, and the finish falls flat.
