May 25, 2009 Kudos to xmarcnolanx for sharing this rare goodie. Pours brown / copper with a small white head. The aroma has lots of sourness, green onion funk, some tart citrus and weird malt. Medium / light body with subtle light carbonation. The flavor starts with good sourness, citric acid, grain, oakiness, tartness and and overall sharpness to everything. The finish has nice graininess, sourness and some green onion. Very nice beer, but it didn’t meet my expectation.

May 17, 2009 Draft at Sourfest 2009 at Brouwer’s. Pours a nice amber orange with a bubbly white head that fades quickly. Aroma hits with sour bread and gewurtztraminer with citrus becoming more pronounced with warming. Initally sour but sweet citruis comes through as it warms. Medium boddy with good carbonation and a tasty lingering sourness. Great beer.

May 16, 2009 Not quite sure why so many consider this the ultimate sour--it’s not even my favorite RR sour. Tasted at SWB’s Sour Fest along with 15 others. Pours orange amber with thin head. Aromas of brown sugar, citrus, peach, wood. It definitely smells better than it tastes, with sour apple and citrus. Sour bubbles linger. It’s refreshing, and a fine sour, but not the best. I expected a bit more complexity at the very least.

Apr 28, 2009 Bottle courtesy of goldtwins (HUGE THANKS!). Poured a very hazy orange color, very little carbonation and nice sour apple funk aroma. Flavor was yeast, then rolled into acidic lemon and then finished with a nice sour funk that lingered on and on. Just amazing, probably one of the best sours I’ve had so far.

Apr 18, 2009 Aroma is lactic-sour, some eggs (sulphur), and an ineffable presence of "yellow".
Okay, I really don’t want to give this a weird rating, but....
Taste is slightly sour, lemony, tart citric....
Finish is oaky-sweet. Some cherry. Lingers.
Lots of salty sweat and weirdness.
Overall, not as complex as I would have liked.
Good, but not amazing.

Apr 13, 2009 God made this, an amazing beer.... How could you?! Haven’t you learned anything from that guy who gives those sermons at church? Captain Whatshisname? We live in a society of laws! Why do you think I took you to all those Police Academy movies? For fun? Well, I didn’t hear anybody laughing, did you?.. Where was I? Oh yeah! Stay out of my booze.

Apr 13, 2009 This has to be one of my favorite RR beers so far. So much complexity. Aroma is huge sourness and tart fruit, wood, alcohol and some sour apple and grapes. Taste is amazing. Sourness upfront and throughout. Puckering goodness and not too dry but enough. Sweet tart and some barrel. Delicious.
