Bottle from Corti Bros. Pours rather hazy gold with a transient white head. Aroma is moderately sour and red berry. With wood. Med body at least. Flavor is Brett, sort of cabernet, slightly musty wood. It is sour, approaching, but not getting too close, to vinegar. Maybe that's an overstatement. The grape part actually may be moderating the sourness. More sour than many, but far from mouth wrenching. Keeps the attention!

Tap at Harry's Hofbrau in Redwood City. Very slightly hazed orange with full white head that retains well and leaves massive patterning down the glass. Very juicy on both aroma and flavor.

Dark brown, medium head. Looks nice. Big nutty malts, even a bit of alcohol...definitely a big brown. Soft and sweet, both toasty and nutty, and even then some nice brown sugar sweetness. The general size allows it to sort of throw all the classic brown ale elements at the wall without any real subtlety. So maybe not the most elegant brew, but pretty enjoyable if you're in the mood for something a little over the top.

Golden-amber, with a thick, bubbly head. Piney hop nose with chewier malt notes. Similar palate. Moderate bitterness and quite a bit of malt sweetness. Well-made but definitely has that Cali chewy thing going on.
