22 oz. bottle. Dark, hazy orange with a big, persistent, tan head. Strong notes of pears, molasses, cherries, red wine, and a metallic twang. The flavor is very sour and bitter. The body is medium to heavy, with a sticky, very acidic feel. Overall, this is a funky and interesting, but not that tasty.

Draft. Ruby color, thin tan edge head. Aroma of caramel, butterscotch, cherries, subtle chocolate. Taste is very malty but balanced. Sweet but not overly so. Best of the bunch at the brewpub that day.

Bottle thanks to my wife: Poured a cloudy copper color with an off white color head. Aroma is sour citrus. Taste was unexpected malts really thick with a soft sour hop not as bitter as one would think.

22 ounce bottle from Wine & Beer Westpark in Richmond, VA. Opened 3/21/11. Pours a hazy orange color with a thin creamy tan head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of mildly tart cranberries, apples and butter. The taste is cranberries, grainy notes, mild buttery notes and some earthy notes. Medium bodied. A bit off and otherwise a mediocre beer.
