Thanks to Deepsouth for this one! Pours a nice hazy orange color with a nice 1/4" head. Lots of sticking! Very sour aroma with a tangy-citrus aroma with a nice mellow cherry in the background. SOUOOOUUURRR!!! Love it! Huge random flavors of cherry combined with a nice citrus flavor that is combined with a long lasting oak aroma. Very tart to the tongue and mouth. Delicious and smooth with a nice tart finish. Very drinkable but to rare to drink often. Another smashing hit from Russian River.

Shared by a BA friend. Batch 003. Pours a dark orange with a frothy white head. Nice carbonation. Aroma of hops, sour fruit, citrus, spice, cherries, and some nice oakiness. Taste is very sour up front, but settles to let more flavors out. Nice flavors of hops, oak, cherries, yeast, and citrus fruits. Extremely tart, thanks to all the sour fruit flavors. Has many wine characteristics, but still distinguishes itself as a damned good beer.

Does not look like a brown ale pours similar to an amber. Sour cherry and barley wine aroma. Instant sour on the tongue aftertaste like a dry wine. Decent beer, not my favorite. Reminds me overall of a Grand Cru.

Pours an amber color with medium off-white head that sticks the glass in gobs as it’s consumed. Aroma is sour with notes of oak, tart cherry and barnyard. Taste is tart cherry, oak, sour yeast and barn yard. Intensely sour and incredibly well made. Thanks for my bro for sharing this!

Thanks to TheCheeseMan for this! Batch 003, poured in a Lambic Flute Pours a gold-amber color with a large pillowy white head that leaves large amount of white sticky lacing. Aroma is beautiful - acidic, sour, oak, and bits of cherry. Taste is sour and slightly cherry tart, which is balanced by the oak.

Batch 3 - Acquired in a trade from lb4lb. Many thanks! Slow pour so as not to rouse the sediment results in a thinnish head that all but dissipates somewhat quickly. Ruddy reddish color with smal tight carbonation. Aroma is sour, with Brett characters dominating, with undertones of vanilla oak notes. Mouthfeel is sharp and lively. Sour hits upfront, but finishes with an almost sweetness from what may me the oak. Cherry not really a dominant note, but merely helps accentuate the tartness of the bacterias and the tart fruit from th oak. A very fine brew.
