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. scrizzz (1265), kirkland, Washington, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | 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. coyotehunter (545), , Michigan, USA

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. MrBunn (1525), Western, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | 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! sirpsycho (343), Murrysville, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | 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. vtafro (469), , New Jersey, USA

Flavor is great although not overpowering, funky sour with nice aftertaste. Great beer worth the trip. Tmoney99 (4704), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA

Poured cloudy yellow color with a large frothy off-white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Medium to heavy citrus and yeast aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and lively carbonation and average particles. Medium to heavy sweet & sour flavor with a medium to heavy bittersweet finish of moderate to long duration.
I shared this with freinds and enjoyed the beer. bp (455), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
