Feb 17, 2009 375ml Batch 2. Pours murky orange color with a small white head that dissipates quickly to a touch of suds around the the glass. Nose is sour, tart, apples, funky brett, musty. Initial taste of sour pours over the mouth giving a refreshing wake up call! Grapefruit citrus and apples. Oak and yeast funk linger in the background. Mid palate brings out the salty rhine bitterness finishing dry with above average palate duration. Good sudsy head retention. This is brew definitely a sour one, but more drinkable than expected. The acidity is well balanced and I could probably hope to finish two bottles! Excellent!

Feb 14, 2009 Bottle shared by an amazingly generous guy (Chris or Greg I think his name was…?) at the Rosso release at Captain Lawrence. Pours a hazed yellowish golden color with a light white head. Intoxicating aromas of acidic citrus fruits, apples, and champagne. Starts off light and crisp and then puckering inducing sour creeps in before moving into a balancing bitter with grapefruit notes.

Feb 13, 2009 Bottle from iowaherkeye, thanks Joey! Pours hazy golden-yellow with fast fading off-white head. Aroma has strong grapefruit notes up front with a heavy dose of brettanomyces. Flavor is nearly off the chart with sourness, but in a good way. Grapefruit is very present in the flavor with a nice funkiness. I had a little hearburn before drinking this, so it wasn’t the best idea to have this at the time, but it was worth it.

Feb 8, 2009 On tap at O’Briens. Pours a orange-gold hue with a small white head that dissipates, hazy clarity. Nose dominated by acetic sourness and sweet tart fruits. Taste follows suit with a hefty does of mouth-puckering sourness, fruits, and funky bret that lasts long into the finish. Probably the most sour of the RR sour ale lineup, pretty exemplary for the style!

Feb 7, 2009 Bottle, batch 002. Golden orange/yellow with a white head. Funky brett aroma, with nice tart citrus notes. Huge sour flavor, tons of brett, dry oaky must. Sour flavors are well balanced with a light and tart fruity citrus note. Dry puckering finish. A bit on the one dimensional side, the sourness really hits you in the face, but still manages to be drinkable.

Feb 5, 2009 Batch 2 bottle, thanks to WeeHeavySD for sharing. Pours a hazy gold with a small bubbly white head. Very sour aroma, with yeast, malt, citrus, and apples. Taste is also really sour, a lot of fruit, with some wood and yeasty funk notes. Lingering big sour tartness. Intense and awesome.

Jan 31, 2009 Sour Bomb! Add sour to sour and you get this beer. Newest batch, on tap at O’Briens SD for the 15th annv party. Not much of a nose, funk and brett a bit. Would go killer with food. Also very interested to see how this will age. Should the texture soften and the brett and other funk develope this could turn out to be something very special.
