Disappointing. :cry:


Sounds like if you brew one, you should probably just keg it.

A glass like this one makes quick pouring easier also:

I'll never understand why people like this beer. It's so back sweetened and Sacaryn-y.

I have nothing to compare it to. It's the only sour beer I've had and I tried it based on its reputation. I'm hoping my local shop will get Earthmonk in soon.
