Hazy yellow-orange color, no head. Sour, fruity Cantillon-like nose. Sour, earthy, fruity (apples and orange). Very lambic-like brew, Brettanomyces is evident here. Balanced. Another good beer from Russian River.

Bottled, thanks cquiroga! Cloudy dark yellow, brief head. Lemony nose. Dry and spritzy, freshly acidic. Vinous and lightly woody with medium body. No bitterness. Freshening and complex, flavourful but not overpowering. Another superb Russian River beer!

Bottled. Golden coloured. Unclear. Off white head. Sourish, dry earthy, spiced and grapish aroma. Flavour of earth, barnyard, light fruits loads of grape and loads of brett notes. Is quite full bodied. Very dry. Fantastic sourish end. Very refreshing and a fabulous palatecleanser. Thanks for sharing, whoever brought it.

Bottled from Kramer 17801, Mystery swap 2.0, I get a cali brew, from A Homie, across the country, back to Cali! Big thanks! LOL! a beer I’ve been wanting. A dull golden pour, with little head, slightly sour, hints of tannin, wood,Brett, very nice, a slower drinker, just to appreciate the flavor, very enjoyable! Batch 001.

(Bottled) Very hazy golden with no head. Sour aroma, like a blend of Cantillon and Orval. Very tart, quite dry, vinous, very enjoyable flavor. Medium-bodied, tart and quite refreshing palate with no carbonation. A bit one-dimensional in the aroma, but very enjoyable flavorwise. Would like a resample some day.

(Bottle 37,5 cl) Courtesy of madsberg/IrishBoy. Hazy, orangey golden with a small, off-white head. Sourish, fruity Brett-nose. Medium body with some lightly sweet fruit notes, plenty of Brett accents but never overly sour. Warming notes of oak and vanilla. Finishes dry. A nice one. 270607

Bottled. Cloudy golden coloured with loads of sediment. Brettanomyces is very evident in the aroma and in the flavour. Grapes and grapefruit notes. Slightly dry. Refreshing and nice.
