UPDATED: JAN 11, 2023 9 November 2022. Bottle from San Diego Wine Co. Bottled: 17/02/2022. Hazy golden, stable, foamy, white head. Aroma of unripe peach & plum, green apple, sour grape, white wine, horseblanket, grass, wet hay, cheese, vinegar. Taste has sour peach, mandarin & green apple over a sourdough-like malt base with funky & cheesy notes; softly bitter hay accent and acidic vinegar. Finishes with 'old' grassy hops, funky hay, acidic unripe fruit and tannic white wine-like alcohol. Full body, moussy texture, average carbonation. A very noble brew, definitely a treat.

UPDATED: NOV 25, 2022 It pours golden and brilliantly clear with a white head. Head retention is low. It has a strong wine character from the chardonnay with some earthly flavors. There are some grape notes with a hint of leather. It has wine flavors with grapes. There are very low leather and earthen elements. There are some wood elements. It has a medium body with moderately strong sourness. Overall, this beer is quite wine like but not to the point where it drinks like a wine.

UPDATED: AUG 6, 2022 Rich oak and chardonnay aroma with some butterscotch and light funk. Burnt orange body with a bright white head. Slight taste, moderately sour and earthy. Some funk in the finish. Light palate with champagne-like carbonation. As good as advertised.

UPDATED: JUN 27, 2022 2 year, and 2 month old beer. My third or fourth Russian River beer. Gold or dark wet straw color. A very tame and likeable bretty nose, like wet pavement with a little ocean, sweetness and funk in the background. There's a clean and breezy quality. Initial taste doesn't seem to have a lot of depth. Medium spritzy sour mouthfeel. Been sitting here letting it warm a bit, don't understand the 4.11 rating. Just drank a Rodenbach Classic and it moved me. Just didn't get it.

UPDATED: OCT 17, 2021 Slightly hazy gold with a thin white head. Aroma is yogurt, earthy, leather, woody, fruity, and light bubble gum. Taste is light sweet, medium sour, and medium bitter.

UPDATED: AUG 24, 2021 On tap at brewpub. Hazy pale gold pour. Excellent lacing. Yeasty, funky, oakey aroma. Plenty of farmhouse funk. Bready, tangy, citrusy and herbaceous flavor. Quite amazing. Tart, enduring finish.

UPDATED: JUL 16, 2021 Pours murky gold into a tulip. Barnyard and aspirin aromas. Soft with sour grape, crushed aspirin funk and dry oak front to back. Tart grapefruit pith/peel and earthy sour funk finish. This one grows on you...
