From the April 2014 3R6P gathering. +++ Sampled from a 750 ml brown bottle this beer poured a red-orange color with a small foamy beige head that faded quickly and left a bit of lacing. The aroma was tart and sour sugar and candied fruits. The flavor was tart and sour with a bit of chalk, mixed fruits and Sweettart candies. Medium length tart chalk and fruit finish. Medium body. Solid.

22 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 12/11/2010. Pours lightly cloudy red-orange color with a 1-2 finger foamy off white head with decent retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of big tart blackberry, raspberry, green apple, red grape, oak, clove, red wine vinegar, hay, straw, pepper, musty brett funk, leather, rye, toast, and yeast earthiness. Fantastic aromas with great complexity and balance of tart fruit, fruity/funky brett, malt, and barrel notes; with great strength. Taste of tart blackberry, raspberry, green apple, red grape, oak, clove, red wine vinegar, hay, straw, pepper, musty brett funk, leather, rye, toast, and yeast earthiness. Good amount of fruity acidic tartness on the finish; with lingering notes of tart blackberry, raspberry, green apple, red grape, oak, clove, red wine vinegar, hay, straw, musty funk, rye, pepper, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity and balance of tart fruits, wine barrel, and big fruity/funky brett presence; with a great malt/acidity balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, crisp, and acidic mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a slight warming present after the finish. Overall this is an incredible fruited sour ale with 3 years of age. Big brett presence with great balance of wine barrel and blackberry fruit flavors; and very smooth to sip on with the balanced acidity. A highly enjoyable offering.

Bottle, 22oz. It pours a minimal-sized off-white head over a semi-clear dark amber to brown body. The aroma is rather vinegarish, with some dark fruits and a nutty touch. A bit simple, and that goes for the flavor too. Dried fruits, vinegar and nuts in the flavor, quite sourish. Dry, sourish mouthfeel with a very soft carbonation. Almond hints, borderline cherry, towards the finish. Well, not my kind of sour beer, but still quite nice. 131026
