Oct 14, 2006 Updated: Oct 15, 2006Corked 330ml. Pours hazy golden with a thin white head. Nice huge brett aroma, lots of sourness and hint of white wine. Very nice subtle mouthfeel. Nice flavors sour apples, lemon, chardonnay. Not overly sour, which I like. The oak and mild pepper comes out on the finish. This lingers and coats the back of the mouth like an earthy white wine. Very well crafted beer.

Jun 14, 2007 Batch 002, purchased at Once Upon a Vine, Richmond. A luminous body with a champagne-like effervescence (and mouthfeel!). Deep golden, a thin but intense carbonation. You can smell the chardonnay immediately in the nose, with the gentlest of oak (thankfully subtle). A slight hint of mellowed grape or even cherry in the first sip, but then it’s a lovely dry tartness, with a slight hint of bitter like you get from orange peels (funny given that RR is ensconced in the land of rich, buttery Chards too). A delightful beer, one of the finest American renditions of Belgian beer.

Batch 001. Pours a clear golden with a white head. Mellow sweetness and sourness.Kinda like Duchesse du Bourgogne but less spicy. Hints of vinegar.

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.

Jan 10, 2006 Batch One, 375cc bottle. Pours a rather clear, medium amber color with an inch tall white head after pouring. The head slowly subsides but never fades out and leaves fantastic sheets of lacing behind. Aroma is pleasantly lambic-like. Full of Brettanomyces. Slight notes of white wine shine through along with hints of oak and tannins. Medium bodied with a lively carbonation. Moderate acidity, ample bitterness pair well with the slightly sour tastes of Brett. in action. Wonderfully crafted, a pleasure to drink.

Oct 13, 2008 Batch 002. Bottle shared by MI2CA. Pours clear straw yellow with some nice white head. The nose comes off as tangy sour cream with a bit of fruit. The flavor is sort of yogurt-ish. I get some white wine character as well. Light body with sprite carbonation and a bone dry finish. Pretty good. stuff. Thanks for sharing Ted.

Oct 3, 2004 Gold color. Sour, dry aroma. Taste is nice and tart, lemony and bitter. Balance is alright. Not sure the oak barrels did much for this.
