May 9, 2008 Bottle thanks to jjk2635389hdgd! Arom is very noteable white wine, like a full bodied funky tart madira wine. Taste is similar, the oak is key, very maderia white wine like characterists, but with shear raw drinkability.

May 8, 2008 003. Orange pour with a thin white head. Funky tart aroma. Oak was a big part in this, but some fruit and lemon as well. lots of acidic tartness really added to the complexity. This was very good.

May 8, 2008 As a sour fanatic, Temptation is a favorite of mine and something I enjoy each time I open a bottle.
Batch 003. Gushing a bit as I opened it, a good sign to me. Poured with a healthy head that evaporated fairly quickly. Scent is sour, though not quite as sour as the other RR BA Sour offerings. Taste is complex, balanced, with a nice kick of Brett to see if you’re paying attention. Some woody tones in it but a great smooth mouth feel.
If you have the opportunity to get some, do it. You won’t be disappointed.

May 7, 2008 Another outstanding sour from RR. Aroma was nice and funky with a hint of vinegar. Pour was a nice murky gold with a one finger off white head that left quickly. Taste was nice and sour, though not as mouth puckering as the Supplication. The oak comes out more in this one, though. Funk with a biting yeastiness in the front with the wood and sourness coming out and shining in the aftertaste. Great carbonation and acidic dry finish.

May 3, 2008 Rating #400. Pours a beautiful clear-golden color with a thick, sticky white head that Mouth-watering sour apple aroma with some musty, funky, and slightly sweet elements, with maybe even a hint of some dried out hops. The flavors are immediately funky, sour, and fruity. Some very complex earthy, woody notes, that dried-out hop character, (but very slight). Light carbonation, soft, bubbly, silky mouthfeel, A very nice beer, well-balanced, and complex.

Apr 26, 2008 Batch 03,,This beer pours with a gigantic head, taste like it smells, lots of sour apple and chardonnay. Really dry and not worth the 10 bucks.

Apr 25, 2008 tASTEz LIKE AIRHEADS!@# wait... this is beer: trappist glass; very nice fruit aroma (cherry), not so sweet just full, with some fresh barnyard qualities; massive white and frothy head; hazy, dark golden body with dark straw highlight; dry, acidic, delicious, fruity (cherry, grape) brew--this reminds me of orval... and this is awesome! so friggin’ quaffable, also.

Apr 23, 2008 Updated: May 9, 2008A- Pours a nice tangerine color with a huge, frothy white head that reminds me of orval.
S- Smell is definitely has some sourness and barnyard funk but also carries with it some sweet fruits.
T-Taste is sweet and fruity at the beginning followed by deep oaky chardonnay flavor which then rolls into an intense sourness.
M- Very crisp and dry with quite a bit of carbonation.
D- Great one to just sit and sip on. Doesn’t get old very fast. Flavor is not as complex as some of the other Russian river beers I have had (Deviation especially) but I like how you don’t have to think about it. It just seems pretty straightforward.
