Sep 4, 2006 12.7 oz Bottle. Cloudy, golden hue. No head. Fruity, chardonnay aroma. Notes of sour apple to the taste. Excellent wine/beer blend and a showpiece for your collection if you can find it. I’d show it more often than I’d drink it.

Aug 20, 2006 Bottle from droopy49 (Secret Santa). Thanks!!! Pours with a perfect balance of gold, haze, head, and lacing. Aroma is champagne, er, sparkling wine, oak, and chardonnay. Flavor is sour chardonnay with subtle oak and peach. Palate is like smooth champagne, er sparkling wine, on the tongue. Stellar and refreshing.

Aug 15, 2006 Thanks to Leopold for the chance to try this gem. Aroma is spicy, earthy, woody, and very sweet with some sour citrus. Taste was much the same with a nice balance of sour malt, white grapes, citrus, funk, and sour fruits. The finish was pleasantly dry. This beer could very well usher me into the realm of sour beers, as I haven’t been much a fan of those until now.

Aug 12, 2006 First off...big thanks to andy for the chance to try this brew. Now on to the beer, it is hard to believe this is a beer when it is so reminiscent of an excellent chardonnay. Which makes it that much more amazing that it is in fact a beer. The aroma was all sorts of funk, yeast, oak, fruits, lemon zests, and the best chardonnay wine aromas. The taste absolutely followed suit. The commercial description says it all with "is it beer or is it wine?" Either way this stuff is awesome!!!! Now only if russian river would distribute this beer to Ohio (As well as their other beers...im sure they are just as good). Now I am on the quest to try supplication and others...

Aug 6, 2006 beer decants a lightly-hazed gold with a smallish white head that hangs around as a collar and leaves ok lace. tart nose definately has an acicdic kick, which actually seems more focused by the oak and winey fruitiness. flavor is actually less tart than the nose, with a mellow malt backbone playing nicely with the big oak kick, and all finished off by a nicely lactic tang. wonderfully complex is another work of art from Russian River. perhaps less complex than Supplication, but still a pretty amazing wine/beer hybrid.
