Photo uploader is not working for me right now, so I will put it in later, sorry about that.
Appearance: Pours a deep, hazy, brown, which, when you hold it up to the light, has a ruby tint to it. Decent sized, off white head, but dissipates fairly quickly.
Aroma: All over the place. A little bit of chocolate, a little malty sweetness, and a lot of berry tartness.
Mouthfeel: Light, bubbly, effervescent.
Flavors: A little bit of tartness up front, more green apple style than anything else, and actually a little astringent/bitter, like the skin of an apple (not hop bitterness). To me, after the initial tartness, there was a stale, earthy, and slightly metalic flavor. Crisp finish, although the metallic flavor lingered for a little while.
Overall: Not for me. The sourness is not quite prominent, and instead of balancing or complementing it, their choice of malts played down the tartness, and to me left a lot of flavors that come across almost as off flavors. Stale beer, vegetal, metallic, and earthy. I love sours, and I love some Uinta brews, but this is one I would almost certainly not buy again.
