It’s sour and vinious wtih notes of sour apple and grapefruit with a slight oaky note. Light bodied, crisp and dry. frylock (996), Buffalo, New York, USA Feb 13, 2007 Cloudy golden color with a small white head. Aroma of white grapes, oak, hay and hints of vinegar. Tart, not sour, with notes of green apples. Well balanced, light acidity and a moderate dry finish. Great mouth feel, almost creamy. Excellent beer thanks to rudy for sharing ryan (1774), Beltsville, Maryland, USA Feb 12, 2007 Updated: Apr 6, 2008Batch 002. Slightly hazy, pale body with medium sized off-white head. The aroma is heavy brett, pineapple, cobwebs, light horseblanket, some peach and honey. The flavor is slightly sweet, mildly tart, pineapple, peach, pear, green apple and slightly herbal. Medium body with soft carbonation and a soft and smooth texture, just a touch tannic on the finish. Lovely. mgumby10 (1844), Jupiter, Florida, USA Feb 11, 2007 Updated: Jan 10, 2008Pours a hazy rich golden color with a very light bubbly white head. Very effervescent and inviting looking. A very thick, rich, acidic orange smell is present. Get other semblances of different citrus fruits as well. Taste is pretty sour but blended well with the orange peel, and slight bitterness. I could drink this all the time, it is so refreshing. The spices mixed with the acidity are really very enjoyable with this beer. They did an awesome job here! kenb (1100), Oregon, USA Jan 30, 2007 Updated: Feb 6, 2007Bottle via Vinnie from RR comping me due to my mistake (yep Vinnie frakkin’ rules!). Batch 001.Been saving this for 6 months. Pours a crystal clear gold with a large white head that leaves more than enough lace on my Pilsner glass. Nose is unique-sort of a cross between a champaigne and a fine red wine. Taste is quite unique. Like most RR beers, it starts with an explosion of fruit. THis one starts with my favorite apples;pink ladies, then some peach & strawberries, and then the pink lady finishes again. Dry clean finish. Medium body. I do not care for this style, but honestly this is great stuff. I liken it to a punk rocker that recognizes the best C & W band he has ever heard.....and knows it is good..and that all is well! I hate the style but love this beer, what more can u seay?! Get it & try it if u know whats good 4 u?! RagallachMC (631), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Jan 29, 2007 375ml bottle via trade with MrBendo. Batch 002. Aroma: Smells alot like a lambic. Bready malt, brett, oak, light vinousness, lemon, and a touch of dusty funkiness. Appearance: Medium yellow in color and cloudy. White head was huge and mousse-like with great retention. Good lacing. Flavor: Slight vinousness and oak. Medium sourness throughout. Some bready yeast. Brett. and again with the dusty funkiness. Palate: Medium-light bodied. Medium-high carbonation. Overall: Great beer. Lots of Brett character tied in with the oak and wine flavors. Interesting and unique.

BierSchneeman (10), Fredericksburg, Virginia, USA Jan 26, 2007 this is a nice refreching beer with a Hazy Golden Colour and a dense head. in the nose you can pick up the Bruxellensis they used. the mouthfeel in nice and light with a Dry finish, the Flavour comes off as a Tangy Sweet with a fair mixture of the Brett, Lacto, and Piet
