Bottle - Soured malts and cherry with a touch of raisin. Dark jet brown with a decent beige head. Tart cherry notes, nice malts and plum. Very nice and easy drinking with a good balance of tartness. Well done.

On tap at The Source. Pours a cloudy burgandy with small beige head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is oak, fruit, and wood. Thin mouthfeel with nice tart fruit, strong oak, light malt, nice winous flavor. Very nice.

On draught at The Source. Pours a dark mahogany color with a medium off-white head that recedes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of berries, oak and malt. Medium-bodied with flavors of tart cherry, raspberry, oaky vanilla and roast malt. The finish is tart with an oak and dark fruit aftertaste. Good brew all around.

Bottle from Bu11zeye. Pours hazy ruddy brown with a light tan head. Aroma is sour and ruddily grapey. Med body, possibly better. Flavor is red grape, sour, astringent oak. That is so inadequate, but the best I can describe. This doesn’t seem brett, more like lambicus. But whatever, it is marvelously tasty. Get it if you can. Further note: After an hour or two this seems to be very sourly cherry. Getting better all the time.

Deep ruby tinted body with a muddy brown colour and a thick two centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of sour grapes, hay and a lot of funk - very nice and super pungent. Medium-bodied; Strong sour grape and pear flavour with a lot of apples, hay, grass and a big kick of prunes - very nice. Aftertaste shows a ton of soured notes with the oak and grapes really coming out at the end - very nice. Overall, an amazing beer with a ridiculous complexity and a very nice sour finish that goes great. I sampled this taster on draught here at the brewpub for US$4.00 on 07-June-2014.

12.7 oz. bottle, sent from mista (thanks a lot, Geoff), pours a deep dark mahogany with barely any head. Nose is very sour, with complex oak barrels, very tart dark fruits, wood and vinous notes. Flavour brings out lots of oak, very dry red wine, tart dry dark fruits, and more of the woody vinous notes. Slightly vinegary, very vinous and oaky on the finish. Not quite as enjoyable as the Origins Grand Cru, but still great nonetheless.
