4 oz pour on draft at ChurchKey for the Wicked Weed DC Debut event. Poured a dark ruby color with a small white head. Aroma is light dried, dark fruits. Light acid, tart berries. Some mild vinegar on the finish. Interesting.

Lots of sour plum and a touch of raspberry. Finishes very tart. Dark ruby pour with good head. Ok package, but preferred the red angel. Tangy finish. Tap at Churchkey.

Bottle. Light floral grass and toffee malt aroma. Brown with minimal head. Sweet funky horseblanket and light berry toffee malt flavor. Tasty.

This brew pours a clear dark red color with a medium white head that dissipates steadily to a wispy film. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of berries, funky yeast and malt. Medium-bodied with flavors of vine fruits, brett yeast and biscuit malt. The finish is moderately sour with an oak and berry aftertaste. Pretty good all around.

On tap at apex. Pours a clear reddish brown color with a medium white head. A big sour woody nose. Rich berries, oak, robust sour cherry. Great flemish brown sour, but the core is very sweet cherries. Awesome.

Bottle: Poured a hazy deep bright amber color ale with a medium size foamy head with OK retention. Aroma of sour notes with some vinous notes and some light berry notes. Taste is also dominated by tart notes with some vinous red wine notes also perceptible. Body is about average with good carbonation. Very interesting beer with loads of complexity. Dates are noticeable but do not play a huge role in this beer.

Refrigerated 0.5 L brown bottle poured into a tulip. Translucent crimson with small off-white head. Aroma is light blackberry, medium body, low carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is tart, some blackberry, some vinegar, some red wine, and some dark fruit. Not that much fruit, alcohol is covered, but a little heavy, hoped for more.

Draft at the source, RBWG Asheville. Cloudy maroon color. Aroma of sweet and sour cherry. Taste reminds me of the old Rodenbach Grand Cru.
