Apr 23, 2008 Updated: Oct 15, 2008Bottle ordered from brewery. Dark golden in color. Looks kind of like a tripel. Sour earthy aroma with a little acidity. Tart fruitiness up front. A little bit of graininess. A hint of sweetness on the back of the throat. Mildly sour. Fairly well balanced between the sour and yeastiness. A little bitterness in the finish.

Apr 21, 2008 375ml bottle. Pours slightly orange yellow with a thin white head of super fine bubbles. Head is resilient and leaves a good amount of lace. Smells citrusy and sour, lemony. A little funk in the nose as well. Tastes sour and citrusy, but its more than just citrus. Can’t put my finger on the flavors though, lemon I guess, I’ll leave it at that. Just a little bit of straw/funkiness in the flavor. Medium body, vibrant active carbonation.

Apr 21, 2008 This is a beautiful glass of beer. Effervescence and color of a glass of Champagne with the head of, say, Duvel. Nose is tart and sweet at the same time, with a touch of oak. I love the complexity of the flavor. It starts out quite tart, but under lying sweetness that soon takes over to produce a very nice mid and finish. Great mouthfeel. Smooth yet at the same time lively on the tongue. I think this one is the most interesting of Vinnie’s sours.

Apr 21, 2008 A truly wonderful beer; it leaves you wanting more. This was my first introduction to Russian River (even though they are only about 50 miles away) and I can’t wait to get more!!

Apr 18, 2008 Pour is a hazy straw color with a huge white head. Aroma of sour funk, oak and subtle wine. Flavor is quite sour and very full. Smooth, smooth, smooth. Could drink this all day.

Apr 12, 2008 From a 75 ml. bottle. with a huge pop. Big robust white head on top of golden murkiness. Aromas of sweet and sour citrus and yeast. On the palate it is silky smooth. Flavors abound of lemon, pear, apple sourness and not overpowering. The flavors stay in your mouth for an extended amount of time. Incredibly tasty and yummy brew.

Apr 9, 2008 Drank it on tap at the brewery. I love champagne, and this was pretty darn close. Pours light golden with an exquisite lemon/yeast aroma. Carbonated and very champagne like. Wow!
