On tap at the brewery. Murky orange-red body, thin dark cream head. Sour, funky nose, with raspberry vinaigrette notes and sugars. Sour, puckering body, with vinaigrette, lemon, and vinous notes, sweet and a touch syrupy. Good blend of sour funk and sugars. Livery does a nice job with sour beer.

On tap at the brewery. Hazy, murky orange-brown body, thin buff head. Bitter, leafy, toasty nose. Leafy, tannic body, like a bitter tea, with tobacco and estery notes (banana, clove). Creamy and soft, finishing bitter. Good IPA.

Growler shared at the Grand Tasting of RBSG. Poured a hazy golden brown with a small brown head that lasts. Aroma was malty with light grain with some caramel and hint of tart fruits. Flavor was fruity with some dry sour cherries and caramel and grain backing.

Sampled at the MiBGSF ’10. Poured a near clear amber with a tan head that dissipated to the edges. Flavor was interesting with a clear pine note that clashed a bit with the sour fruit note that was present. Flavor was sour as well with that same pine note but it seems to work a bit better on the tongue.

Sampled at the MiBGSF ’10. Poured a near clear amber with an off-white head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma was sour with fruits, particularly lemon, with a biscuit and slight hop undertone. Even the aroma seemed a bit dry. Flavor began with some sweetness and then grew in sourness and dried out with a bit of hops in the finish.

Served on draft at Hopcat in Grand Rapids. Pours a hazy ruby-brown color with a medium tan head. Decent head retention and lacing. Faint toffee aroma. The taste is tart cherries, toffee and green apple. That green apple seems to affect nearly everything this brewery does, which is disappointing. Medium bodied.

Growler shared by BBB63 at the RBSG Grand Tasting. Thanks! Pours a dark amber color with a thin head. Aroma of toffee, green apple, caramel and a nutty finish. The taste is tart green apple which dominates everything else. Caramel and toffee peak out. Medium bodied. Seems off.

On tap at MBGSF 2010. This was the height of the downpour, and with the darkness inside the tent I can’t give a description of the appearance. Anyway, the aroma was pretty weak, but had a nutty earthiness. Flavor was again nutty and earthy with a citrus hoppiness. Not so great.

On tap at MBGSF 2010. Pours a hazy red amber. Aroma is just plain sour. Flavor is a vinegar sourness with red and green apple flavors. The acidity is quite sharp. Throughly enjoyable.
