Aug 26, 2008 Aroma is funky barnyard - pretty strong actually. I like it! Flavor is the pins and needles for a very carbonated sour, and, well, sourness. I can taste notes of unsweetened white grapefruit, and then a dry bitter flavor. There’s some notes of chardonnay in there too - I just can’t put my finger on them. Aftertaste is an almost salty lipfeel.

Aug 26, 2008 Updated: Sep 19, 2008Bottle, Aug 2008. This beer is beautiful, with a fantastically huge, fragrant head smelling of citrus and sour yeast. The taste is citrus first, bitter grapefruit, then a dry, wonderfullly sour finish.

Aug 16, 2008 Updated: Nov 21, 2008Batch 1 Very good, funky and sour with a beautiful nose. Hints of citrus and woodiness throughout. Batch 1 was a touch softer on the acidity and seemed to have more brett, 2 seemed a touch more sour, maybe due to the acidity. Both were very nice.

Aug 14, 2008 Damn. I really should be more careful on what I open when I get home from work. A huge foamy bone-white head three fingers tall forms atop this hazy orange beer. Citrus and sour brett on the aroma with a faint lactic character and a hint of wine earthiness. Intensly sour flavor with hints of lemon, grape, cheese, and barnyard funk. A satisfyingly drying mouthfeel yields a long sour aftertaste. Most excellent.

Aug 10, 2008 Bottle Batch #3 courtesy tpd975. Pours a slightly hazy golden with a one finger white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma is very vinous and citric with oak and spicy funky brett. Taste is the same as aroma with tons of tart over ripe citrus and funky yeast. Medium mouthfeel with a good amount of spicy brett and acidity and a dry finish. Another damn fine brew from RR.

Aug 10, 2008 Bottle shared generously by Eric, thanks! Pours a cloudy light orange with a explosive and small white head. The aroma is fruity and full of yeast like a BSA but also really tart. Some sour oak notes stand out. The flavor is similar; smooth and tart sour oak, yeast, some citrus and a fairly dry and acidic finish. Very nice. A fizzy and lively moutfeel.

Aug 7, 2008 Pours a pale yellow color with a tall effervescent white head with strong retention. The aroma is close to a fruity white wine, a bit acidic, with tropical fruit notes and a touch of dusty, funky brett. The flavor is lightly sour, a bit vinous, and touch of cheese rind. After a few minutes it really opens up and the tartness as well as the fruit come through. Light on the palate, and warming with alcohol.
