Sample at the brewpub. This brew is a clear light yellow-orange color with a wispy white head that disappears quickly. Sparse lacing. Light coriander and other spices in the nose, plus a bit of malt. Light body with flavors of spices, yeast and wheat. The finish is clean and wheaty with a mild spice aftertaste. Straightforward and easy to drink, slightly above average overall.

Growler shared by Cliff @ BCTC. Dark brown color. Aroma is dominated by a vinegar oily kind of sourness. Flavor has this thin slick sourness as well. In general my notes just said cheap sourness, not sure exactly what I meant by that at this point. Maybe too much acetone coming through?

Growler shared by kramer @ BCTC’09, he hooked the place up. I liked this a lot, much more so than the other Jackie-Os sour. Color is dark brown, almost black. Has a small tan head. Aroma is strong tart berry sour, a cool chocolate aspect, and a tart light vinegar to round it off. Flavor is a candied sourness with tart berries sprinkled throughout. Has a nice mouthfeel to go along with all of that. I had no idea beforehand that this had raspberries in it but that makes perfect sense with what I tasted.

On draught at Bodega. The beer is a cloudy orange color with a medium off=white head that burns away quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Citrus and wheat in the nose, plus some hops. Medium body with flavors of grapefruit, hops, wheat and spices. The finish is mildly hoppy with a lingering citrus and wheat aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

From growler brought from brewpub. Pours a pitch black with a very small head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, slight roasted malts. Flavor is mellow, chocolate, coffee, malts. Alcohol somewhat present - though not overpowering. Pretty darn good.

Sample at the brewpub. This brew is a flat black color with a medium brown head that recedes slowly. Thick rings of lacing on the glass. The aroma consists of roasted malt, berries and a hint of vanilla coffee. Rich body with flavors of roasted coffee, caramel malt and dark fruits. Alcohol is well-masked but it is there. The finish is dry and roasty with a coffee and hops aftertaste that lingers awhile. Good from start to finish.

Sample at the brewpub. This beer pours an opaque reddish-brown color with a thin and creamy beige head that diminishes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Sour berries in the nose along with touches of malt. Full-bodied with a sour fruit character with notes of raspberries and other dark fruits. There are also notes of earthy malt and spices and a hint of bourbon. The finish is tart fruit with a lingering oaky and malty aftertaste. Good all around.
