On tap at MBGSF 2011. Pours a cloudy amber, having a sour apple aroma. Flavor has the sour apple, some caramel tones, berry, and oak. A mostly acetic but still somewhat lactic sourness. Very nice.

Bottle from Styles. Thanks man. More than expected. Pours amber with a slight off-white head. Sour funky aroma. Maybe some wood. Medium body with mild carbonation. Flavor is sour and woody. Lots of fruit. Could be cherry. Or not. Finishes decently sour and woody. Really tasty sour ale.

Special aged bottle from Beerman 6686 at the Pgh RB gathering 12/09. Funky old smell. Sour and bitter commencement. There is a little more bitter bite than I care for but the funkiness arouses me. Funky barnyard bitter tartness on my palate. Good overall sour beer experience. Bitter lengthy linger.
