Draft. Black beer with a tan head. Tart and dark fruit aroma with light spice. Sour and light chocolate flavor with dark fruit and red wine. Medium bodied. Sour and light acetic notes linger with red wine and chocolate.
Oasis fit. Really classy NZ IPA beer. Grassy, real clean burning. Another clear beer!!
Rose Bowl bound!

Bottle in Sebastopol. Very pretty bright red with a low pink head. Dry funky cherry lactic leather grapefruit
A bit simple and somewhat too dry. Interesting though.

2012 bottle shared by ClarkVV. Nose is rich malt and red wine vinegar. Tastes of currants, vinegar, malty, raisins, oaky, red wine. Puckering sourness. Intense stuff.

750mL bottle drunk 8/28/25.
Clear, amber-cherry-copper. Small, off-white head quickly to ring.
Strong, rich, malty, acidic, some acetic, light currant but not too much acetic. Big barrel, big, rich malts and round, rich oak tannin.
Rich, soft, malty, strong and acidic. Mostly lacto thankfully, not vinegary acetic, but still very acidic and intense. Honey, biscuit, oak tannin all create a soft, round near syrupy body. This beer is intense as fuck, I can't even fathom this 13 years ago. Good Lord.
