Dec 23, 2008 Thannks to TheCheeseMan! Pours a yellow-tinged golden color with some small particulate and a thin foamy white head. Aroma is intense grapefruit with some tart lambic funk. Taste is more tart and crisp than their other sours, with clear lambic flavors going on. My favorite Russian River sour.

Dec 23, 2008 Pours a deep golden color with a small head. Very funky, skunky aroma, that I just cant get used to in sour beers. Taste is very sour, like warheads candy when I was a little kid. If I liked sour beers this would be the best example I have tried to date.

Dec 22, 2008 12 oz bottle acquired from Beerlando and broken out in honor of my order of Batch 003 arriving. Pours a higly hazed orangish yellow with minimal white head. Aromas are a wonderful sour funkiness coupled with a nice oakiness and brett apparent. Initial is sour, mouthpuckering with a dry oakiness and more funky brett body. Sour white wine, bitter lemon fruit. Strong, moderate body. Finishes puckering sour with notes of funk and wood lingering on the palate. A strong contender in the category. Very happy to have tried this and have 4 bottles of the new batch sitting in the cellar.

Dec 14, 2008 Bottle from Monument in Concord, CA. Well out of the three barrel aged beers released in 2008 this was the most sour. Almost a little too sour. Still a very nicely done brew.

Dec 12, 2008 Pours a light golden color, with a small head that sticks around very well. It has a very pungent aroma of tart citrus - especially grapefruit, some barnyard funk and yeast. It’s perfectly tart – makes you pucker just a little, and leaves your mouth watering after every sip, making you want the next. It’s very light – I’d almost say sprightly – and a joy to drink. Wonderful.

Dec 4, 2008 Batch 002 received via trade with hophead22. Pours lightly cloudy dark yellow with a small, fizzy, white head, all diminishing with no lacing. Aroma is average malt -hay, straw-, average hops -flowers, grass-, heavy yeast -horse blanket, barnyard, cheese, earth- with notes of green apples, wood, and medicine. Light bodied, mineral texture, lively carbonation, and a sour finish. Long duration, light sweetness, heavy acidity and sourness.

Nov 29, 2008 Updated: Jul 13, 2009Re-rate 6/09: Bottle sample. Thanks Yafit! Batch 002. Hazy golden-orange color with no head. Aroma of barnyard, citrus, wood and some yogurt hints. Sour flavor with a bit of sweetness in the background, some *stuff-I-can’t-read-because-of-my-horrible-hand-wr and nice funk. Amazing. 9/3/9/4/18=4.3
(10/20/08) Bottle generously shared by the bartender and Tom at Monk’s Cafe in Philadelphia. Batch 002. Clear softly sparkling golden with a small white head. Aroma of barnyard, some citric notes and sweaty hints. Sour flavor with some lemon, grapefruit notes, light honey-ish hints and some funky stuff going on. Medium-bodied. Really great stuff - like an excellent Gueuze. 8/4/9/4/17=4.2
