does not count  Jun 21, 2008 Poured Batch 003 into a tulip glass after a huge fizzy head erupted from the bottle. Smells of sour fruit, funk and some wine. Taste is champagne like and estremely sharp. Great flavor, great mouthfeel. My fave RR, yet.

Jun 19, 2008 sampled batch 3 with the phoenix crew... pours a cloudy pale orange with a vigorous white head. smells tart from across the room!... champagne, champagne vinegar, woody dryness, yeast, sour cream, lemon zest, mineral/flint/stone, blood and rust. medium body with an airy mouth feel from the soft carbonation. the flavor is the same and doesn’t disappoint. the oak and funk really shine. this walks a fine line between too much malt and not enough... really well done...

Jun 12, 2008 Batch 003: A nice cloudy golden color iwth a pillowy white head with TONS of lacing, good carbonation to boot. Smell is very winelike with a good tart note and maybe some barnyard/hay notes. It is literally making my mouth water in anticipation of the tartness. Taste is dry with good sour flavors, a bit of the oak and finally good funky notes, (I don’t know what else to call it, you get the picture). Damn good, Russian River doesn’t disappoint.

Jun 11, 2008 Bottle, batch 001, at Spuyten Duyvil. Oak and mild sourness, lots of oak and mild sourness. Semi-tart, winelike fruits are in the background, maybe some toffee sort of notes as well. Not as in-your-face as some sours, but that worked very well for me.

Jun 11, 2008 Batch #1 from Sputyen Duyvil. Pours a semi-clear orange with little head. Aroma of funk and sourness. Flavor of oak (very similar to oak-barrel aged Captain Lawrence beers), sour gueuze-like notes, sour apples. The oak is present but not overpowering and balances nicely with the sour notes. Has a strong palate to mesh with the oak barrel. Nice finish. Excellent beer.

Jun 10, 2008 Updated: Oct 7, 2009My second time having this one, had batch 2 and 3. Pours alight off white yellow body. Aroma is bretty, oaky, woodiness. A dry woody refreshing light barnyard funkiness with low acidity is what i get. Not bad but it didnt stand up next to some of the others at Yeast Fest 08. 3.9
Wow what a difference batch 003 made to me. Pours a golden body with a white head. Aroma is brett all on more like what drifts through a meadow on a sunny afternoon. Really funky yeast notes. Brett and chardonnay notes green grapes and their skins. Vinous tart grapes and light oak. Lush effervescent notes with a mouth watering grape like finish. Slightly dry and yet lush. Phenomenal! 4.5
