Jun 7, 2009 Pours out bright gold with lots of bubbles. Smells sweet and funky. Taste is tart with light sweetness and funk. Lots of carbination many subtle flavors. Citrus, wood, sour apples, and Brett. Crisp, dry smooth brew. Very good.

Caged and corked 375 courtesy of pantanap. Thanks a bunch Kan. Pours a deep golden color, mostly opaque, with a medium large white head that slowly deflates. Loads of funky brett aromas. Light acid, leather, old books, rice wine vinegar. Starts off much sweeter than I had anticipated, with light caramel notes. Texture is gorgeous, lively small carbonation, but nothing overbearing. Light sourness, gentle, not bracing. Lots of subtlety here.

May 18, 2009 Draft for Sourfest 2009 at Brouwer’s. Pours clear golden with white head. Wonderful citrus and sour aroma (smell of the Brett). Sour is definitely dominating with some apple and grapefruit coming through. Pretty simple and straightforward, but a good sour with a great finish.

May 16, 2009 Tasted at SWB’s Sour Fest along with 15 others. Pours a light gold with plenty of rising bubbles and leaves lots of lacing. The carbonation is definitely noticeable. Aromas of sour sugar and apple, slightly oaky. Fairly simple sour that actually got flatter as it warmed.

May 16, 2009 On tap at Brouwer’s for Sour Fest. Pours a golden pilsner like color with bubbles and moderate lacing on the head. The aroma was flat sourness and the taste matched.

Aroma is moderate to heavy, sour, citrus, lemon, wood, light to moderate yeasty. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet, acidic and moderate bitter with a long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20081230]

May 6, 2009 The color is a hazy orange-gold with a lively white head (gushed just a bit). Aroma has a pleasant funky sourness that can only come from my pal Brett. Some wood, wine, and citrus detectable as well.

May 1, 2009 Batch 003 thanks to kegbear and DirtyMartini!
Cork blew out after I put a corkscrew into it, but no beer gushed. That beautiful, shimmering, hazy golden-straw color, fluffy white head with ample lacing... beautiful. Nose is really well put together: fruit with lots of wine and brett--yeast, egg, citrus, and hints of leather. Flavor is driven by the chardonnay, all the way through the finish. More citrus and yeast, again light leather. I like this a lot, but for me the wine is too overpowering in the flavor and the dry body bordered on fizzy overkill when coupled with the heavy carbonation. Another show-stopper from RR, but not an absolute favorite. Reminiscent of JP Luciernaga.
