I have no idea how to even pronounce the name of this beer and I'm not going to try. But wow.
It is hard from that photo to see the coloration of this beer, I'd say mahogany about does it. Light white head that quickly dissipates. Aroma of tart cherry, Brettanomyces funk, reminds me of some kriek lambics. The gravity sets it aside from those however.First sip is great - tart cherries in the forefront, Brett and light malt up in there too. Good carbonation, really dances on the tongue. Great flavor, long lingering finish. Great sipping beer.
I have had some good Avery beers, but this one is a must try. Yeah you'll pay eight dollars or more for a 12 oz bottle, but it is worth it! I would like to try to do something similar. Now is probably the time as I know that Wyeast has Brett Claussenii out as a VSS strain and that is used by some brewers in the area. Not sure if that is what is used in this or not.
My rating: seek it out! Call your local liquor store, and if they don't have it, force them to get it for you!
