Jul 31, 2006 Reminded me a bit of a sour ale. Huge almost wine-like nose that is not overwhelmed by the oak aging. I had been looking forward to tasting some Russian River products, and this one was a little underwhelming, sour and a bit one-sided.

Jul 29, 2006 Excellent beer. This is a must try for any beer lover. brillaint golden color, white head. Sour aroma. Similar to a gueuze, but not as intense. The chardonnay barrels are evident but not overwhelming. I wish that I could afford a case!

Jul 24, 2006 Bottle from trade, batch 001. Pours like a champagne, lively, golden, and smelly - just the way I like it. Sour like socks from a winery that have been stomping grapes, only mixed with barley. Intensely fruity, white wine nose. As a drink - splendid. Quite unlike beer, slightly sour, but refreshing - wine like but not like wine - fresh, cool, refreshing. apples, pears. The sourness of brett is at a modestly low-ish point on the dial; this should be palatable for all but the stubbornest of drinkers. Odd intensely fine lacing - head is only a layer of dense bubbles along the rim, and a center bubble wellspring. Scotty, this beer is a live, beam me up a few more bottles. P.S. Calling this "belgian ale" does it no justice. It’s American, for one thing.

Jul 8, 2006 375 ml bottle. Pours cloudy light orange with a thick white head. Some big aromas going on here, sour fruit and some spice that makes my nose tingle. Initial taste is fruit with a hint of malt, but then the oak and chardonnay really comes in a big way. Finishes sour and dry and the wine taste lingers for a little while. This is very unique. Texture is creamy and silky smooth. I really enjoyed this and it is very easy to drink.

Jul 8, 2006 Updated: Dec 1, 2006A very interesting beer, unlike any other I have had to date. The pour was a nice murky golden color with a good off white head. The aroma was sour with hints of earthiness. Taste was very smooth and balanced. You definitely get a sour taste, but not over the top sour like a gueze. It was very smooth and easy to drink. Definitely pushing the envelope between wine and beer.

Jul 6, 2006 Cloudy deep golden colour with a small white head. Sweet, light tart fresh apple fruity aroma with a yeasty note. Malty and fruity flavor with a light acidic finish. Thanx to sk8viking for sharing this one.
