Listed as a "Garnet-hued sour aged on French oak".
The color was indeed a crystal-clear deep red. Since I only got a 6 ounce sampler, there wasn't much head, only a ring around the top of the glass.
Aroma was quite malty, and not much of the sourness I would have expected. I did get some butterscotch in there... as the style description says, some diacetyl is allowed.
Taste... OK, but not what I expected. It was only slightly sour, it was much more malt forward without the pucker. I could get some of the tannins from the oak in there, but mostly it was a malt bomb.
Mouthfeel was average, maybe a little better. Didn't really leave a lasting impression in my mouth after I swallowed.
Overall this is an average beer, but not the sour beer that I had looked for. However, all was not lost... because they also had a beer called Tart, which I shall review next, and it was indeed the taste I had been seeking.
