Whoa, this dude is SOUR. I know this review wont be glowing, but I am just not into THIS sour of a brew. I ahve had a few sour ones, but this takes the cake. Taste way too much like wine.

375ml bottle from MrBendo. Batch 2. Aroma: Lots of sour cherries and oak. Brett, light spiciness, and a bit of alcohol. Appearance: Reddish gold in color and slightly hazed. Light bone head was small and creamy with good retention. Great lacing. Flavor: Lots of sour cherries upfront which melds smoothly into the oakiness. Brett gives a light funk in the mid-taste. Tartness gives a good pucker, but isn’t to much. Finishes quite dry. Palate: Medium bodied. Moderate carbonation. Overall: Another solid offering from RR. Well crafted and delicious.

Batch 2 bottle (thanks WeeHeavySD). A bit of a gusher. Pours a hazy reddish-brown color with a decent-sized beige head. Aroma is sour cherries and a little of the brett. After smelling it for what seemed to be several minutes, I gently lifted the glass to my lips - Wow! There is much going on! The sour cherries kind of make the lips pucker a bit, the brett adds a very interesting dimension....the oak, the pinot noir - it all blends up into a wondrous delight. Tart, dry and refreshing. I need a few more bottles of this!!

Sour Ale’s are now my favorite, I enjoyed the side by side with Temptation. Nice pour, howevere a little cloudy. Strong sour cherry with oak and with some tart fruit.

Wow I was so glad to find some of this on the table. Aroma of cherries, sourness, and a real rich malty sweetness . Real balanced between malty and sourness. Probably one of my favorites flemish sours out there.

Bottle sampled. Pours red/amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of oak, sour cherries, and yeast. The flavor is tart sour cherries, wood, lively carbonation, and wine. Good body, not a fan of the style, but this was really good.

cloudy amber color. Sour and spicy nose. Thick bodied and sour. Can’t read the rest of my note (long night of tasting at JK’s Gathering) 9/4/7/3/16

A cloudy brown body with foamy off-white head. Sweet sour cherries on the aroma with some brett funk. An over the top sour flavor greets my tongue then smoothly runs into a cherry midbody and then a tart finish.

Received as a one hell of a bounus from dirtymartini, thanks again man! Hazy reddish-brown pour with a light tan head. Awesome aroma of sour and oak...sour cherries and light caramel malt. The flavor held more sourness, bret, tart cherry, some tannins. Sour throughout the medium body with a nice lively carbonation with a sour/woody/dry finish. Sours, especially RR brews continue to allure me, and this one was especially good. MY favorite sour ale, hands down.
