Boulder Sourfest ’10 - I had a lot of beers after this one at this fest, but here is where I pretty much stopped paying attention, not because I wasn’t enjoying the beer or the fest, but precisely BECAUSE I was enjoying the beers and the fest - anyway, I quite enjoyed this one - the strength was in no way noticeable - quite a strong herbal character up front, followed by toasted oak of the bourbon barrel - cherry comes through in the middle - very mellow sourness and acidity, with just the faintest touch of funkiness on the back end - a nice brew.

Draft. Rich mahogony/brown beer with a low off-white head. Cherry and light barrel aroma. Cherry, light malt, and light barrel notes with light tartness. Medium bodied. Cherry, malt, and light tartness lingers. Great balance.

Draft, City Beer Store. This beer poured a relatively clear reddish amber with a small off-white head. The aroma is primarily sour cranberries. The hibiscus comes through a bit, but it’s hard to pick it out exactly. There’s some spice and fruity/malty sweetness. The flavor is sour berry tart. It’s not an enormous pucker, but it goes down that road. There are some sweet floral and spice notes as well. A tad thin. A pleasant beer but quite off-style, not that I mind.

Hazy amber. Thin head. Slightly fruity nose. Somewhat amateur tart with decent complexity. Unclean funk. Unnatural - too phenolic and with sweetness. I don’t know what to make of this...not really gose but not much fun.

Draught. Poured dark orange brown with thin white head. Faint fruit aroma. Flavour was like varnish, cranberries and citrus clashed. Nasty oily finish. The cinnamon was the only good thing and there was not enough of it.

Bottle: Poured a hazy reddish color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some light lacing. Aroma of oak and slightly sweet cherry with a tart finish is quite enjoyable. Taste is also dominated by oak with some nice cherry notes and some clear tart notes and some balanced acidity with a lingering sweetness which may or may not originate form the port barrel used. Body is quite full with great carbonation. I must admit to being totally shock by the quality of beers form this brewery which I will have to keep seeking again in the future.

Taster at the SLC tasting 2009
Appearance: Pours a brownish red with a nice white head
Aroma: Spicy, fruit and oak
Taste: Oak and tart fruit.
It wasn’t as tart as I thought it would be from the aroma. I think the barrel aging might have taken the edge off.
