Nov 4, 2009 Pours a clear amber color with thin white head. Aroma dominated by tart oak character and light fruit. Soft carbonation up front with a huge oak flavor that is balanced by nice light fruit flavor. Hints of grape, cherry strawberry throughout. Creamy medium-bodied.

Nov 1, 2009 Tap @ Belmont Station... Poured a vibrant golden with a thick, white head that retained a decent size throughout enjoying this tasty beverage. Aroma was wildly funky and yeasty with fruits and spices. The Bret was brilliant in this one. Palate was perfect with that usually dryness from a sour and was very refreshing. Flavors of grains and lots of fruits -- lemon citrus, very sweet with spices -- almost like anise. This beer was like liquid candy, bretty and tangy.

Oct 31, 2009 Pours a straw yellow color with a rich soapy white head. Aroma of lemon, funk, and yeast. Flavor is tart, funky, with vinous, sour and hints of oak in each sip. Another high end offering from Russian River.

Oct 30, 2009 Courtesy of TampaBrew. Pours hazy dirty sand with thin white head. The aroma has white grapes, a touch of lemon, some mild notes of hay, malts, grains and some sour and tart notes. The taste is thin, fresh, and crisp with some grains and malts moving into light color skin grapes and then tart notes. I get some acidity and tartness heading into the finish as it evens out and comes to the end of the taste.

Oct 26, 2009 Thanks to TampaBrew for sharing this one. Pours hazy yellow with a white head. Nose is vinegar, light malt, tart citrus, lemon, and brett. Flavor is similar with lots of citrus and vinegar; also a tart wine barrel presence. Medium body beer that lingers with brett and tart. These guys are the the masters of Sour Beers. Good job, Vinnie.

Oct 24, 2009 Bottle shared at Moosetoberfest 09. Poured a hazy golden yellow with a smaller fizzy white head. Aroma is great with lots of sour fruity funky notes, lots of sour peach and apricott. Mediu bodied with very very lively carbonation, some champagne characteristics from all the carbonation. Flavor was slightly vinous, awfully sour, slightly funky and fruity and a hint of oak. Really nice stuff, nah this is great stuff.

Oct 23, 2009 Batch 3 bottle. Huge cork pop. Strong amber with big, dense white head. Nose is beautifully sharp. Wine and light funkiness on the nose. vinegar tartness hinting behind. I’m already salivating. Super sharp tart citrus. Light and dry. Grapes, lemon, champagne-like. Maybe cherry? Dry bitter finish. Leaves earthy funkiness.

Oct 19, 2009 Served on tap at O’brien’s TION night in a 13oz Chimay.
I’ve had this in bottle (batch 003) on several occasions, and found that I didn’t enjoy it on tap as much. The oak comes through, and the beer really lives up to its description (is it a beer? is it a wine?). Blonde in color, big white head lacing. Medium sourness, tart fruits, oak, lemon come through. Medium bodied, dry, refreshing. Very good.
