Sampled on tap at PIB, pours dark amber brown with a tan head. Aroma of red wine, light hops and sour fruits. Flavour of sour fruits, funk, vinous qualities - sour fruits / red wine finish. Tastes nothing like a Black IPA, more like a sour. Decent, though some of the qualities don't mesh together that well.

This beer seemed all over the map. It didn’t taste much like a Belgian ale from Belgium, or even from the Belgian style brewers in the States. It has a bit of bubblegum, a bit of hop and ’n bietje sweet caramel malt. Still a rather interesting beer. Perhaps the best thing to do would to be order a pitcher and sip it over an evening.

Sampled on tap at SIB, pours cloudy amber with a small head. Aroma of sour fruits, red wine, lemon and Belgian yeast. Flavour brings out the red wine and sour fruits the most, with dry vinous qualities lingering. Light/medium-bodied with a dry finish. Nice.

Draft at Upright’s tasting room, just marked as "Oakshire IPA," so I’m not sure which IPA. Going with the numbers here. This one has an extreme grass aroma and the taste was like standing in a meadow eating lemons. Good stuff.
