Aug 29, 2009 Draft at Pizza Port. Clear yellow pour with a thin white head. Woody sour aroma with citrus. Very sour flavor, but not overpoweing. Woody citrus notes with ahint of vanilla. Very nice

Aug 27, 2009 courtesy of Greg Gaughan - pours a hazy orange colour with a little persistent white foam; aroma of almonds, vanilla and apple, slightly woody; some acidity, creamy mouthfeel and with a good malt body; fair carbonation; some residual sugars with more notes of vanilla and almonds - a superb beer

Aug 24, 2009 2009 Bottle, Batch 4 - Pours a translucent pale yellow with a large off white head...aroma is green apple, oak, lemon, tropical fruit...flavour is more subdued that other RR wilds, slightly vinous, massively oaky, tart lemon and the lightest spiciness that starts in the nose and has the most ephemeral presence in flavour...very tasty...

Aug 22, 2009 Out of the RR Sours that I have had thus far, this is my favorite. Probably second only to Duck Duck Gooze as far as sours go overall. Amazing beer.Pour is just fantastic. Insane head with perfect lacing over a murky golden liquid.
Smells of tart lemons, some other fruits, and a vinegary sourness.
Tastes just great, lemon zest, sour apple, a little wood. Another amazing beer from Russian River.
Mouth is relatively thin over high carbonation, this is where the beer needs to be.
Just a goddamn exceptional beer.

Aug 22, 2009 Powerful tart sour dry aroma, jumps out of the glass. Hazy gold, strong white head. Reminds me of gauze, both dry and soft, nearly medicinal. I had forgotten about the chardonnay barrels and probably would have noticed it had I looked for it. It doesn’t swirl with complexity but it’s a great beer that I couldn’t drink slowly.

Aug 21, 2009 Huge thanks to MrBunn for sharing this.Pours a decent head with a peachy orangey yellow color. Great aroma of sour peach, lemon, a hint of soap, and some wood. Taste is similar, but way better. Very lemony.......damn thats good stuff.

Aug 21, 2009 Bottle with thanks to Kan. Pours a massive head with a little bit of cloudy gold liquid at the bottom of the glass. Aromas are fabulous... a lot of sour and funk (lemons, barn, oak, maybe some white pepper or something, etc.) Flavor is more of the same, with lots of oak and funk and lemon. It’s pretty light on the palate with lots of carbonation and refreshingness. Yum!

Aug 21, 2009 Bottle, batch 003. Pours a very slightly hazy orangish gold, very fine bubbled white head, slight lacing. Aroma is right away bright and vinuous, almost champagne like, slight yeast notes. Flavor is tart, very wine like, soft and dry finish.
