Apr 14, 2009 Light golden pour with no head. Aroma of white whine, vinegar, citrus, and sharp cheese. Awesome flavor of sour grapefruit, sour apple, mild wood. A very clean dry finish seals the deal. Solid carbonation, mouthfeel pairs perfectly with the flavor of the beer. A great sour.

Apr 13, 2009 Updated: Aug 13, 2009Bottle at City Beer in SF. Hazy golden color with a white head. Aroma of strong brett and funk as well as citrus and other light fruits. Flavor is incredibly sour and bretty with huge grapefruit and some barrel notes. A little bit of overkill IMO. High carbonation, prickly palate. Good but a bit overpriced at $25 (ouch!).

Apr 12, 2009 Bottle. Pour was hazy medium golden with a real nice cheesy aroma. Flavors were complex with a light staleness, deep sour character, grapefruit, hay, and cheese. Nothing was too overpowering about this ale. There was a good oak character to the brew but again, it didn’t distract me from the rest of the flavors. Real well blended. This is definitely real close to a lambic.

Apr 10, 2009 Batch 003. 5.75% abv. Courtesy of zythum. What a beer this was! Pours a hazy golden color with a fluffy white head that fades rather quickly to a patchy thin layer. The aroma is acidic, musty and fragrant with yeast, cherries, banana, and some straw or hay, just a wonderful scent with many layers. This is jam packed with flavor, especially for a beer with a relatively low abv. Very puckery and tart right up front with sour apples, grapes, funk, grapefruit, just wonderful, then it mellows to a dry finish. Delicious and refreshing. Damn, Russian River just doesn’t mess around. This beer was a treat, I can’t thank you enough Ron!
