Mar 28, 2006 Sampled from growler: Pours a slightly hazy copper orange color with a thick, frothy, clumpy-lacing white head. Tart, sour, funky, and mildly citric aroma has a touch of dry earthy hops. Body starts with some sweet earthy maltiness, a touch of orange peel and a nicely balanced funky tartness. Smooth flavorful finish. Another winner from Russian River.

Mar 8, 2006 On tap at the Brickskeller in DC. Hazy unfiltered gold pour with a fluffy white head. Caramel and citrus hops with a nice biting taste. Pretty generous on the carbonation when I had it. It’s a belgian I guess, but I liked it more than a typical belgian. Not too fruity and bitter enough to satisfy me. Good job Russian River!

Mar 7, 2006 On draft at brewpub. Hazed golden color with a medium white, creamy head that leaves complex lacing. Citric and acidic aromas, light sour fruitiness, dry and vinuous. Flavors are tart and dry, a little funk and bret character, lemon notes and bay in the finish. Light body, creamy carbonation with a bit of a bite on the tongue. This is a goodie!

Feb 27, 2006 Growler thanks to DaveCooks. Poured a hazy gold with a large almost white head. Aroma was semi-sweet and earthy. Caramel and yeastiness. Mild leather aroma. Lightly tart with some notes of gum. Nice and complex. Flavor was sweet with a light malt that drys out quickly. Light bitterness with a touch of leather on the finish. Yummy.

Feb 22, 2006 On tap at the Brewpub. Pours an orange gold color. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is fruity and citrusy, touch of brett and tart. A medium bodied ale. Malts are fruity and sweet. Lots of orange and orange peel. Lots of tartness. Nice mixture of tart/sour/funk that blends well with the fruit sweetness. Nice lively carbonation. Extremely nice, subtle beer, this one will grow on you. Awesome. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet with some tartness.
