kiefdog (1567), Tampa, Florida, USA Nov 9, 2009 Bottle courtesy of tampabrew. Pours a hazy yellow color with thin white head. Aroma is sweet and floral with notes of honey, citrus, vinegar, overripe cherries, yeast, some hints of caramel and grass. Flavor is about the same. Medium body with a fruity finish. fakepurseninja (773), Washington, USA Nov 8, 2009 Straw body laced with moderate-high carbonation. Sweet yeast zest, slight mild acidity. Creamy with a hearty bread malt component. Light woody notes with a nutty essence. The tartness highlights a Brettano-character which is prominent on the finish. Great drink off tap @ M&V. scoth (266), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA Nov 6, 2009 Batch 4X2. Pours clear golden, with a lasting two-finger cream-colored head, fine lacing. Citrus, grass, pineapple aroma, very yeasty, with green apple, caramel and farmyard undertones. Medium body, zesty and very tart. Very fruity with flavors of sour apple, orange, and lemon, some spice and biscuit. Light grassy finish, moderately dry, champagne-like. tnkw01 (124), USA Nov 6, 2009 Bottle. OK. Again, not a big fan of the style but this one was not bad. I tried Suppliaction, AWGH!! But this one was actually pretty good. So, if one had the choice between the two, pick this one. Had a very nice fruity smell and yes it was sour but not in an unpleasant way. Would drink again and would recommend it. corby112 (671), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 4, 2009 Pours a clear amber color with thin white head. Aroma dominated by tart oak character and light fruit. Soft carbonation up front with a huge oak flavor that is balanced by nice light fruit flavor. Hints of grape, cherry strawberry throughout. Creamy medium-bodied.
boFNjackson (1233), Portland, Oregon, USA Nov 1, 2009 Tap @ Belmont Station... Poured a vibrant golden with a thick, white head that retained a decent size throughout enjoying this tasty beverage. Aroma was wildly funky and yeasty with fruits and spices. The Bret was brilliant in this one. Palate was perfect with that usually dryness from a sour and was very refreshing. Flavors of grains and lots of fruits -- lemon citrus, very sweet with spices -- almost like anise. This beer was like liquid candy, bretty and tangy. alobar (1006), Harleysville, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 31, 2009 Pours a straw yellow color with a rich soapy white head. Aroma of lemon, funk, and yeast. Flavor is tart, funky, with vinous, sour and hints of oak in each sip. Another high end offering from Russian River. Ibrew2or3 (2714), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA Oct 30, 2009 Courtesy of TampaBrew. Pours hazy dirty sand with thin white head. The aroma has white grapes, a touch of lemon, some mild notes of hay, malts, grains and some sour and tart notes. The taste is thin, fresh, and crisp with some grains and malts moving into light color skin grapes and then tart notes. I get some acidity and tartness heading into the finish as it evens out and comes to the end of the taste.
