2013 FDR3. Red-hued dark brunette body with bib bubbles, big textured, loose and frothy. Just dud spots left and moth wing scatter of pressed flower residual. Awesome sour cherry, baked persimmon, aged balsamic over steamed carrot, peppercorn, and toasty oak scents disperse, while chutney and pickled apricot take the spotlight, locked in a dark embrace. This may be the perfect sour. Smooth from oak, but sweet with vanillin and cola-malt, and sharpness from grapefruit, sour apricot, sweet potato sugar baked black. Blackened cinnamon-soaked apples, dried, brined bing cherry flavors, grilled lime, with autumnal spice and landscape sensibilities flowing smoothly in between. Astounding. — 5 years ago
Perfect bitter, tempered by fruit. Amazing. — 8 years ago
These beers always make me take a step back. Red licorice, even strawberry twizzler on the nose with dried fig and balsamic notes. Palate is simultaneously rich fruit and tart rhubarb with superfine bubbles. No oak- just pure malt and soured character. Sublime w salty cheese and plum preserve. — 9 years ago
