On tap at the brewpub. Poured a near clear reddish brown and a near white head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma was full of red sour fruits with a good amount of acid and a bit of a barnyard note. Flavor started with tart red fruits and grew to become quite sour and acidic with a bit of funk backing.

On tap at the brewpub. Poured a hazy pale yellow with a bubbly white head, like no mild I have ever seen before. Aroma had a nice hop presence with pine and a good amount of grapefruit and citrus with a light bread backbone. Flavor starts with strong pine and had a growing grapefruit note with hints of citrus and a bread backbone. Delicious but like no mild I have ever had.

On tap at the brewpub on May 7, 2011. Pours a very dark brown with a finger and a half of a tan head. Sits around for a bit and leaves good amount of lacing. Flavor began with roast and dark bread with a bit of bitterness in the finish that was a bit dry. A classic example of the style and nicely done.

High drinkability. I drank my pint in less than 4 minutes. Awesome day at the brew pub with LiteWait. Big beer vacation!
