Keg @ D'Ale House, Rochdale. Hazy dark golden with a small head. Very lemony effort in both aroma and taste with minimal sourness. Lime citrus is evident.

Aromas are malt, lime, mint and a touch of sour. Flavors are similar to nose, fairly dry, and enough sour. Doesn't remind me much of a mojito cocktail which is also a bit sweet.

750 c&c from Tavour. Pours dark brn/blk with a moderate dark tan head. Aroma is sourish with dark malt and whiskey. Approaching full bodied. Flavor is sourish/tart with dark malt, whiskey and some Brett earthiness. Not so Bretty as I'd prefer, but good stuff. Sort of a variation on a Flemish sour.

Bottle from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours dark brown with a very slight tan head that left rapidly. Aroma of musty sour cherries. Or some sort of rotty fruit. Med body. Flavor is quite sour. And it does seem to involve a lot of sour/tart "nasty" cherries. I have add ale that’s more sour/tart, but this one is well balanced (whatever that might mean with this sort of ale). It is fabioso, delicious. Really well done.
