Mar 7, 2007 Batch 002. The Commercial Description is very accurate. I would add a description of additional sourness and tartness when it first hits the palate. This is also noticeable in the aroma. A very unique, very creative, and very well made Belgian Ale. I would have rated slightly higher if there was a higher alcohol content and a larger bottle (the 375ml bottle only made be jumpy for more).

Feb 25, 2007 Batch 001. 375ml bottle. Pours hazy golden amber with lively carbonation. Smooth frothy lingering head with soft delicate lacing. This one has a wonderfully complex aroma full of sweet fruits. I’m getting raisons, banana, citrus, along with some earthiness. The flavors are similarly complex ... the brett is apparent upfront as in some of other Russian River beers I’ve tried, along with very tart and sour apples, some sweetness, maybe some apricot, spices, and a very slight bitterness. All balanced to perfection. Palate is smooth with a champagne like texture. A very refreshing ale.

Feb 19, 2007 Updated: Feb 20, 2007sample at pub. The brett was a bit much for me on this one, but another solid beer. Nice complexity.

Feb 18, 2007 Bottle (batch 001) from Vinnie. Strong aroma with hints of vanilla and apricots soon overtaken by earthy brett-aromas. Murky dark yellow with small white head. Flavor is complex, slightly sour with a dry, bitter finish. Aftertaste is tart and fruity with marzipan kicking in. Smooth mouth feel and mellow carbonation. Tart, but balanced without the vinegar notes as many Belgian sour ales and with so many layers of complexity revealing itself up as at warms. *Very* nice! Enjoyed with aged Pie D’anglois and my homemade rye bread, which it complemented beautifully :-)

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.
