Pours brown-amber almost like you can see the cherries in the glass. Aroma is tart, wood, brett, sour cherries. Flavor is champagne like with wood and cherry coming through in the finish. I like this brew but I have to say that Temptation is my favorite of the RR sours. Good though.

Bottle: Very tart aroma with notes of fruits, Brett, cherries, oak, and acid. Poured amber/orange in color with a small, off-white head. Very sparkling. Hazy. Flavor is very tart. Tastes of tart fruit, cherries, Brett, and a little oak. Medium body. Chalky texture. Lively carbonation. Tart, dry finish.

Pours orangish-amber color, supple yellowish-white head with ample lacing. Loads of peach/cherry in the nose, some citrus, really slight must, some lactic notes, faintly sweet, vinous notes with warmth. What!? 10/10. Flavor is a step down but is still great: more orange citrus to couple with the peach, lactic notes and wine lingering on the tongue, slight wood hiding out again. Palate is top notch, so smooth and simultaneously so vibrant. It’s really enjoyable to see another bretty beer where the extra pieces all snap together in the end.

Amber with a lasting and lively white head. Subdued, but complex aroma with cherry, vanilla and fresh wood. Initially quite acidic, then a complex, elegant tartness with cherry and wood notes, and finishing with an even sweetish fruitiness. This was my first sour RR, and I’m very much looking forward to try some more!

Batch #3. Very distinct vanilla component comes through from the barrel aging over the funk and tartness and unifies the flavor beautifully.

Poured a dark orange color with an off white head. Aroma was sourness, sour cherries, a bit vineous. Flavor was amazing, very sour with a nice hint of cherries and oak, almost like a sour cherry wine.

37,5cl bottle. Thanks Chris. Pours clear amber with a creamy white head. Sour, tart, oak, sweet matured, sugar, cherries, complex. Bites the cheek. Fresh - vinegar & berries! Ends dry! Very nice!

Bottle. Aroma of tart cherries, oak, yogurty funk, other fruits, maybe grapes or strawberries. Flavor really has an oak and winelike presence with soft tart and sour touches. Quite dry. World class.
